, which initiates planning for up to 3 gigawatts of floating offshore wind energy in Oregon’s federal waters by 2030.Adding to the mix is the anticipated retirement of coal plants across the Western Interconnection — which includes Oregon, Washington, California, and more — over the next 20 years.
“Our study of coastal and regional electricity transmission flows showed that not only could offshore wind increase the reliability of electricity delivery to Oregon’s coastal communities, but deploying offshore wind opens up transmission capacity that could serve load centers throughout the Willamette Valley in western Oregon,” saidThis strategy could allow the existing electricity transmission corridor to provide additional generation from areas equipped with strong renewable energy...
“We found that the Gorge wind could rely in part on offshore wind and less on hydropower for helping balance the electricity load on the grid,” said Douville. “This may be especially beneficial in the late summer months when river flows are at their lowest.”
Great when the wind is blowing. Is a dud when the wind isn't blowing.
