On August 27, 2024 the ACHP executed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Maryland Offshore Wind Project. This MOA represented the tenth Section 106 agreement developed for commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects approved under the Biden Administration. These ten projects represent the potential for more than 15 gigawatts of clean energy from offshore wind – equivalent to half of the capacity needed to achieve President Biden’s goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
