States on East Coast Vie To Build Offshore-Wind Base

摘要

Three offshore-wind developers that are competing to build the first U.S. utility-scale offshore wind farm, south of Martha's Vineyard, have targeted Massachusetts as a hub to build a critical domestic contractor supply chain. Not to be outdone, Maryland also is pushing itself as a base for the emerging energy sector, approving two projects last month and rehabbing a former steelmaking site to host offshore-wind manufacturing and staging.
