US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Extends Public Comment Period on Wind Energy Areas Off the Coast of Southern Oregon to October 31st, 2023 — Rob Taylor Report

According to the Department of Energy, in order to capture the abundant wind resources available offshore, offshore turbines are one-and-a-half times the height of the Washington Monument, with blades the length of a football field.

Deploying 30 GW of offshore wind will require over 2,000 wind turbines and foundations, 6,800 miles of cable, and dozens of specialized vessels.

In the first year following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the domestic offshore wind industry invested $2.7 billion in ports, vessels, supply chain, and transmission.

Oregon’s offshore wind farm will produce 2.6 gigawatts. How much will this cost in consumer electric costs, not to mention the maintenance and repair costs?

Oregon uses over 48 million megawatt-hours (MWh) per year of electricity, which comes from a combination of hydroelectric (40%), coal (32%), natural gas (17%), land-based wind (7%), nuclear (3%), and other sources.
