The Maryland-based energy company U.S. Wind received approval for a major offshore wind project off the coast of Ocean City, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) signed off on U.S. Wind’s Construction and Operations Plan (COP), which is the final step in getting a federal permit to begin construction. This is the last step for BOEM, the lead agency on the project.
