The Biden Administration Is Looking at Possible Offshore Wind Sites in the Gulf of Mexico
The Biden administration is looking to potentially open the Gulf of Mexico to offshore wind and other renewable energy development, it announced on Tuesday.
The Interior Department said it will examine potential opportunities for development at the Gulf’s outer continental shelf and will allow for public comment to assess interest and gain information.
A spokesman for Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, John Filostrat, told The Hill in an email that this is the first time the agency is gauging interest for renewable energy in the Gulf.
