SEATTLE COMPANY TO LAUNCH FIRST OFFSHORE WIND FARM ON U.S. PACIFIC COAST

摘要

Seattle company Principle Power just received approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior to seek a lease for 15 square miles of federal waters off Coos Bay, Oregon, for the country's first offshore wind farm off the Pacific Coast. Principle's $200 million WindFloat project would install the first offshore turbines in federal waters on the West Coast and would be the first in the country to use triangular floating platforms instead of single piles driven into the ocean floor.
