According to the maritime News Network on August 27, the potential power generation capacity of the development pipeline of the U.S. maritime advantage power project reaches 25824 megawatts, spanning 13 states, including the Block Island wind farm, which was put into operation in 2016.
A total of 21225 MW of the project has exclusive site control, which means the developer has a lease or other contract to develop the site. Most of these projects are located on the east coast, with one located in the Five Lakes region, according to the sea advantage power technology market statement prepared by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the U.S. Department of energy.
It said California and Hawaii had several early-stage Haiyou power generation projects in the planning stage.
The US Department of the interior's Marine Energy Administration (boem) auction price for three lease areas off the coast of Massachusetts was $135 million, more than three times the previous boem auction price, showing strong interest and determination in the US offshore wind energy market.
The first commercial planned Haiyou power project in the United States, the coastal vineyard island wind power project in Massachusetts, sold for less than expected at $65 to $75 per MWh.
The skill trend for large turbines continues, with an average installed capacity of 5.5 megawatts for offshore turbines worldwide in 2018 and 10 to 12 megawatts of turbines coming to market in the next few years.
