Over one hundred wind turbines will soon dot the Maryland coastline, pending federal approval, as part of a series of offshore renewable energy projects.
The projects, developed by companies US Wind and Ørsted, are slated to collectively power more than 600,000 homes in Delaware and Maryland upon their completion in 2026. The construction and maintenance of the turbines will also create thousands of jobs in Maryland.
The wind turbines will sit about 20 miles from Maryland’s shores — visible from the region’s most popular beaches — and are among some of the first to be constructed along the Atlantic coast.
