The U.S. Department of the Interior will hold next month an offshore wind lease sale in the Central Atlantic as the Biden Administration continues to pursue advancing renewable energy installations

, the Interior said on Friday. The areas, which will be auctioned on August 14, 2024, by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, could generate up to 6.3 gigawatts GW of clean, renewable energy and power up to 2.2 million American homes, the administration said. The Final Sale Notice includes one area offshore the states of Delaware and Maryland, and one area offshore the Commonwealth of Virginia.

” BOEM has held four offshore wind lease sales so far, including offshore New York, New Jersey, and the Carolinas, and the first-ever sales offshore the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts. The Biden Administration has approved the first eight commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects in the U.S. as part of its efforts to boost offshore wind and other forms of renewable energy to make the grid greener and cut emissions. The Administration plans a zero-emission grid by 2035.
