Results from this study indicated a decrease in all common air pollutants as a result of the development of offshore wind energy, as well as a projected 25% decrease in CO2 emissions by 2050. [50] Furthermore, the South Fork Wind Farm has generates 132 MW of renewable energy and offset the carbon of 60,000 cars each year. [51]
South Fork can generate 132 megawatts of offshore wind energy to power more than 70,000 homes. “It’s great to be first, we want to make sure we’re not the last.
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
"South Fork Wind, once complete, will power approximately 70,000 homes each year, and it's only 12 turbines. Can you imagine 12 turbines, 70,000 homes powered? It's pretty remarkable," Garvey said.
