摘要
The state of California has set aggressive renewable energy goals, and offshore wind will be an important component of this renewable portfolio. Due to relatively strong winds and unique geographical location with existing electrical grid connections, the Central California Coast was selected for home to one of two Wind Energy Areas in the state delineated for future offshore wind development (i.e., Morro Bay Wind Energy Area). This talk will give an overview of offshore wind and summarize a series of studies on offshore wind in Central California. The topics will focus on the characteristics of offshore wind resources, and the potential impact of offshore wind development on commercial fisheries and the marine environment, which are of high concern in the local community.
