Service Description: On April 30, 2024, the Interior Department <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-department-proposes-offshore-wind-sales-oregon-gulf-maine" target="_blank">announced</a> its proposal for a first offshore wind energy auction in the Gulf of Maine. The proposed sale would include eight lease areas offshore Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, totaling nearly 1 million acres, which have the potential to generate approximately 15 GW of clean, renewable energy and power over 5 million homes. In identifying these areas from the Final WEA, BOEM prioritized avoidance of offshore fishing grounds and identification of vessel transit routes, while retaining sufficient acreage to support the region’s offshore wind energy goals (13-18 GW based on information from Massachusetts, Maine, and ISO-New England). <br/> <br/> A 60-day comment period on the PSN is open from May 1 – July 1, 2024. Individuals may comment by navigating to Regulations.gov and searching for BOEM-2024-0026, or by attending one of the <a href="https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/gulf-maine-proposed-sale-notice-psn-public-meetings" target="_blank">BOEM public meetings on the PSN</a>.
