Offshore Wind Operations and Maintenance Facilities

As a national leader in clean energy policy, New York is a prime hub in bringing offshore wind energy to the United States. Setting a new standard to expedite the transition to a clean energy economy, the historic Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) requires New York to achieve a 100% carbon free electricity system by 2040 and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 85% below 1990 levels by 2050. The law mandates that at least 70% of New York’s electricity come from renewable energy sources by 2030. As such, the State has begun development of 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy, enough to power up to 6 million homes.

From initial marine cable route surveys to support in the development of tower base fabrication, component staging, and operations & maintenance (O&M) facilities, McLaren Engineering Group’s marine and survey teams have been working throughout the Northeast on various offshore wind projects, bringing this renewable green energy source to reality.
