DOE Provides Detailed Offshore Wind Resource Maps

Wind Powering America publishes a series maps showing the potential to generate electricity from offshore wind resources in the United States. This map complements the map highlighting onshore wind energy potential.  These offshore maps show wind speed detail at 90 meters above the water surface, with a spatial resolution of 200m, for 26 States along the coasts and the Great Lakes. Wind energy potential is broken down by wind speed, water depth, and distance from shore. Read More
