Maryland raises offshore target fivefold
US state Maryland has increased its 2031 target for installed offshore wind capacity fivefold from 1.6GW to 8.5GW.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced the quintupling of the target yesterday at a meeting of the International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum in Baltimore, Maryland. He said: "We are going to make this the time when offshore wind sets the pace for all of us."
The governor's office said the US state is looking to establish new lease areas, establish new grants and strengthen the offshore wind supply chain.
