Virgina Offshore Wind Project Moves Forward
.” “Today marks the first step in what I expect to be the deployment of hundreds of wind turbines off Virginia’s coast that will further diversify our energy production portfolio, create thousands of jobs, and reduce carbon emissions in the Commonwealth,” said Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “Hampton Roads has the ideal port assets and talented workforce to attract and house the offshore wind business supply chain to support not only Virginia’s commercial wind area, but also wind farms under development in Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland. Today's announcement
BOEM Approves Virginia’s Offshore Wind Research
. The electricity generated by these turbines could power 3,000 homes. "The approval of Virginia's Research Activities Plan marks another important step in our mission to be the first state to install offshore wind turbines in federal waters off of Virginia's coast," said Governor Terry McAuliffe. "This research project is the gateway to commercial development of offshore wind which will help diversify our Commonwealth's energy mix and support our efforts to a build a new Virginia economy." The RAP was developed by DMME’s operator, Virginia Electric and Power
BOEM Issues Offshore Wind Energy Research Lease
(WEA). The data obtained and lessons learned from this project will be made publicly available and inform the future production of renewable energy within the WEA. “Developing our clean energy resources is an essential element of building a new Virginia economy,” said Governor Terry McAuliffe. “With this research lease, Virginia is leading the way in building wind turbines in the Atlantic Ocean and taking the next step toward the clean energy economy we need to create jobs and lower energy costs now and into the future.” “The data collected under this research
AXYS to Consult Virginia Offshore Wind Project
AXYS Technologies Inc. said it has been chosen by the Timmons Group as a member of their team recently awarded a research project funded by the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) to explore new methods of metocean and offshore environmental monitoring. Governor Terry McAuliffe announced on March 26, 2014 that the Timmons Group proposal was one of the four successful responses to the DMME request for proposal (RFP). The results from the research and development activities conducted through these project awards will help lower costs and risks for commercial offshore
