U.S. State-Federal Consortium to Spur Offshore Wind Projects in Great Lakes Region

On March 30, U.S. President Barack Obama joined with the governors of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania as well as the representatives of a number of federal agencies in signing a bipartisan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will streamline the development of offshore wind resources in the Great Lakes region. 

The creation of the Great Lakes Offshore Wind Energy Consortium responds in part to a request to the president from a bipartisan group of governors last June to establish a combined intergovernmental state-federal task force on wind energy development. It also supports the Obama Administration’s “all of the above” approach to renewable energy production and fossil fuel independence.  

Located near the U.S.-Canada border, Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario comprise 21 percent of the world's surface fresh water. The total offshore wind potential in the Great Lakes regions is over 700 gigawatts (GW). This represents about one-fifth of the total offshore wind potential in the United States.
