While efforts to expand offshore wind in the U.S. are currently focused primarily on the coastal regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico, another body of water is once again coming into focus: the five Great Lakes on the border between Canada and the U.S. hold enormous potential. It is not the first time that offshore wind turbines are to be installed there.

The five Great Lakes - Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario and Lake Superior - are the largest freshwater area on Earth. They contain 20% of the world's freshwater resources and provide drinking water for more than 40 million people. And they hold an abundance of wind energy potential. Wind resources are estimated to have a power generation capacity of 160 gigawatts for fixed ...
