A Gulf of Maine offshore wind power initiative Maine Governor Janet Mills rolled out late last year has raised concern in the lobster fishing community, with Maine Lobstermen’s Association Executive Director Patrice McCarron telling The American that “the area identified by the state of Maine for a potential offshore wind farm is prime fishing bottom for Maine fishermen.”

When combined with the new greenfield 145 MW Aragonne Mesa Wind project, the total wind farm output will increase to 235 MW.
As a part of this effort, GE will be providing a total of 86 2.x-127 and 2.3-116 wind turbine generators (WTG) to Leeward. The Aragonne Wind repower will replace the project’s 90 existing units with new WTG technology, resulting in increased performance and reliability. The projects are anticipated to be completed in late 2021.
The US has been quietly preparing for a huge expansion in wind power As the cost of offshore wind power has been driven down by Europe and China, companies in the US are planning enough capacity to power millions of homes. Scott Eisen/Getty Images Americans owe Europe a thank you. Two decades ago, Germany’s new renewable energy feed-in tariff stimulated the market for rooftop solar power. A decade ago, Denmark, Germany and the UK began to build offshore wind farms that rivalled the output of conventional thermal power plants. In both cases, billions of pounds of investment pushed the technologies down the cost curve until they could compete against coal, nuclear and gas. Europe pioneered innovations in project finance, built domestic supply chains and gained valuable expertise in how to complete large solar and offshore wind farms.
