The new wind farm would be located off the coast, about 17 nautical miles northeast of Ocean City, Maryland. If approved, construction for the project – dubbed the Skipjack Wind Farm – would begin as early as 2020, and produce 120 megawatts of power. That’s four times more than the Block Island Wind Farm is expected to produce.
Deepwater Wind is in the early stages of developing a 90 megawatt offshore wind farm 30 miles east of Montauk New York, scheduled to start operating in 2022.
By the way, the Block Island Wind Farm is expected to start producing electricity this month. The company had anticipated it would be operational by November.
