Gulf of Maine: Challenges, opportunities & technical aspects for developing offshore wind projects

July 22, 2024
To date, there's been a lot of progress made for the future of floating offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine, making it a top contender for the development of offshore wind projects. Before this can become a reality, there are many factors to consider.

The Gulf of Maine’s deep waters will require the use of floating foundations to support offshore wind turbines, positioning Maine as a leader in the development and deployment of floating offshore wind in North America. Maine’s abundant coastline, homogeneous bathymetry and water depth ranges, and high average wind speeds make it an ideal region for offshore wind project development.

DNV’s North American Offshore Wind Team provides an in-depth overview of the challenges, opportunities, and technical aspects for floating wind in the Gulf of Maine.
