Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced major offshore wind energy initiatives to quadruple the amount of energy produced by offshore wind from about 2 gigawatts to 8.5 gigawatts of power.
Governor Moore is also elevating a key partnership between U.S Wind and Tradepoint Atlantic to build an offshore wind manufacturing yard at Sparrows Point in Baltimore at the location of the former Bethlehem Steel plant. Orsted has committed to using Tradepoint Atlantic as a logistics hub to assemble advanced foundation components for offshore wind turbines using materials produced on the Eastern Shore at Crystal Steel. The partnerships will create nearly 15,000 jobs.
“The clean energy industry represents tremendous economic benefit for Maryland, and it is important we have a strategy in place to not only grow our existing companies but create a business climate that attracts new clean energy companies and global investment,” said Kevin A. Anderson, Maryland Department of Co
