Summary

Virginia wind research lease areas extracted from Atlantic OCS aliquots (sub-blocks) for BOEM renewable energy leasing in the Atlantic.

Description

Offshore wind has the potential to provide the largest, scalable renewable resource for Virginia if it can be achieved at reasonable cost to customers. To help determine how this can be accomplished, BOEM and Dominion are involved in the Virginia Offshore Wind Technology Advancement Project (VOWTAP), a research and development project supporting offshore wind generation. These research lease areas show where this project is taking place.
