“We commend Maryland for its vision in developing offshore wind resources,” said Drew Murphy, NRG Energy’s northeast regional president. “This project also helps meet the state’s renewable portfolio standard, and advance the commercialization of clean energy technologies in a competitive manner.”
“These state leaders recognize the potential of a regional offshore wind industry to provide jobs as well as clean energy alternatives,” said Peter Mandelstam, president of NRG Bluewater Wind. “Offshore wind is established in Europe but new for the United States, and it produces reliable and emission-free power close to higher population areas, which makes it an attractive and valuable renewable resource.”
