The project will add 300 MW of offshore wind energy from 22 wind turbines. This project will more than double the current wind capacity of the state.
Expansion Plans
Offshore wind presents an opportunity to utilize the vast resource from the winds in the Atlantic Ocean. The company will expand offshore wind in Maryland by developing the Momentum Offshore Wind Project, resulting in $337 million of income from direct construction.
Momentum Wind Farm will also jumpstart offshore wind manufacturing on the East Coast. US wind plans to build Sparrows Point steel fabrication facility through a $150 million investment, developing it into an offshore wind deployment hub.
The new steel fabrication facility will help the Momentum Wind project’s staging needs and stimulate the offshore wind industry supply chain.
