December 20, 2023 — Another offshore wind farm plan off the Delaware coast will be examined by the state.
Governor John Carney’s office announced the start of formal negotiations with US Wind that could bring two projects to the area off of Delaware Seashore State Park by the end of 2028.
The tentative plan would send power from US Wind’s proposed “MarWin” and “Momentum” wind farms to the 3Rs parking lot south of the Indian River Inlet, with US Wind leasing the land at $350,000 per year, with annual increases of 3%.
The cables would cross land, before then going through the Indian River Bay to the Delmarva Power & Light substation in Millsboro at the inlet edge of the bay
