Mid-Atlantic Wind Power Projects Update

Stay informed on the latest wind power projects in and around Maryland's Appalachian ridges and offshore areas. Discover developments from key utilities like First Energy, Iberdrola Renewable, and more. Learn about ongoing research on bat surveys, impacts on fish communities, and the refinement of wind power layers for smart siting. Dive into spatial and temporal statistics of Maryland's wind fields and the beginning stages of offshore wind field data development.
