“This is the most significant step forward in the history of Maryland offshore wind,” said Jeff Grybowski, US Wind CEO. “BOEM’s draft environmental impact statement sets us on a path toward starting construction on our offshore wind projects in 2025, 
putting Maryland’s goals that much closer to reality. We are proud to be the first to deliver this clean energy to Delmarva and look forward to the day we can get steel in the water.”
A 45-day public comment period on the draft EIS will commence on October 6 during which the public has an opportunity to submit written comments, attend in-person meetings in Ocean City, Maryland and Sussex County, Delaware, and two virtual meetings. More information about how to submit comments or attend in-person or virtual meetings can be found here: https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/maryland-offshore-wind.
