Unleashing windpower in the Mid-Atlantic states

摘要

In May, ELI and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean published A Guide to State Management of Offshore Wind Energy in the Mid-Atlantic Region, providing an overview of the issues affecting offshore wind energy projects in the region and identifying the basic elements of state authority to address resource concerns and competing uses such as navigation and fishing. MARCO is an effort launched by the Mid-Atlantic state governments (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia) four years ago to protect Atlantic Ocean waters while promoting the development of offshore wind energy projects.
