A megawatt-class BAT anchored 10 miles off the coast would need significantly smaller foundations than traditional offshore wind systems

#First Offshore wind farm In U s. Under Construction In July, American offshore wind developer, Deepwater Wind, installed the first foundation for

200 gigawatts (GW) of developable offshore wind potential, compared to its estimate of 11,000 GW of onshore wind potential.

and more than 66%of offshore wind in the United states is in wind power class six or seven.

However, offshore wind is significantly more expensive to build and maintain than onshore wind. Although there are currently no operating offshore wind projects in the United states

offshore wind turbine technology has grown steadily in Europe, and, to a lesser extent, in Asia. As of 2014, Europe accounted for 90%of the estimated 8. 8 GW of installed global offshore wind turbine capacity.

Offshore wind power development in Europe began in 1991 when the first offshore farm was installed off the coast of Denmark,

In the United states, developers have proposed building nearly 4. 9 GW of offshore wind capacity off the coasts of nine different states,

Other projects such as the Virginia Offshore wind Technology Advancement Project and Fisherman Energy Wind of New jersey have faced development hurdles despite making significant progress in project development.

So far, the high cost of domestic offshore wind projects has made them economically unattractive, despite the availability of federal tax incentives and state policies to promote use of renewable energy.

Building and maintaining offshore wind technology is compared expensive with onshore wind projects because of challenges such as transporting equipment and workers to the sites
