UC Berkeley study shows US offshore wind potential

UC Berkeley study shows technical potential and policy pathway for major offshore wind growth by 2050

The United States has one of the world’s most robust offshore wind resources and can develop enough offshore wind to provide up to 25% of the nation’s electricity supply, according to a new study released today by the University of California, Berkeley. The report “2035 and Beyond: Abundant, Affordable Offshore Wind Can Accelerate Our Clean Electricity Future” shows that over 4,000 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind potential is available along the U.S. coastline, including the Great Lakes, which could greatly complement our onshore resources such as solar and wind to help us achieve a 95% clean electricity... ...
