- W4312858090 abstract "_ Offshore wind farms could in the next decade find a home in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), more than 8 decades after the first oil flowed from its first offshore field. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in July identified the first two draft wind energy areas (WEAs)—one off the coast of Louisiana, the other off Texas—that could harness the Gulf’s steady breezes. Offshore wind is a key piece in President Biden’s strategy of addressing climate change by transitioning the US onto renewable energy. His administration in March 2021 set a target of deploying 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, “enough to power 10 million homes with clean energy, support 77,000 jobs, and spur $12 billion per year in private investment in offshore wind projects”, according to the announcement. This is the equivalent to more than 2% of the US utility-scale electricity generating capacity and about 25% of the total US wind electricity generating capacity, according to a Congressional Research Service report. In 2020 the country’s total generating capacity was about 1,212 GW, with about 119 GW of that produced from wind energy resources—virtually all onshore. Currently, the US has only two commercial offshore wind farms bringing the US total of offshore wind capacity to 42 MW. The five-turbine Block Island Wind Farm off the Rhode Island coast has a capacity of 30 MW, and the two-turbine Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project has a current capacity of 12 MW. New Energy, Historic Basin Interest in the Gulf’s offshore wind potential has increased in recent months as development efforts off the country’s East and West Coasts continue to advance and the Biden administration has pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding. One of the Gulf’s WEAs is located about 24 nautical miles (nm) off the coast of Galveston, Texas. The area under review totals 546,645 acres and has the potential to power 2.3 million homes with clean wind energy. The other WEA is located about 56 nm off the coast of Lake Charles, Louisiana, totaling 188,023 acres and has the potential to power 799,000 homes. This stretch of the Gulf Coast is historically significant as the location of the first free-standing platform to produce oil from the Gulf’s Creole field, installed about 1.5 miles offshore Cameron, Louisiana, in 1938. The GOM oil and gas industry has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the country’s most important energy resource and infrastructure regions. It is its energy infrastructure—its ports, its vessels, and its skilled workforce—that offshore wind developers find attractive. While the Gulf’s winds are not as strong as Atlantic and Pacific winds—about 7.5 to 8.5 m/s as compared to 8.0 to 10 m/s—this proximity to the oil and gas supply chain that can be leveraged and a milder climate that decreases operating costs and increases turbine access are considered its strongest advantages, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)." @default.
