The Gulf of Maine’s deep waters will require the use of floating foundations to support offshore wind turbines, positioning Maine as a leader in the development and deployment of floating offshore wind in North America. Maine’s abundant coastline, homogeneous bathymetry and water depth ranges, and high average wind speeds make it an ideal region for offshore wind project development.

DNV’s North American Offshore Wind Team provides an in-depth overview of the challenges, opportunities, and technical aspects for floating wind in the Gulf of Maine.
