The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has held the nation's third competitive lease sale for renewable energy in federal waters, offering nearly 80,000 acres offshore Maryland for potential wind energy development. At its closest point, the Maryland Wind Energy Area is located about 10 nautical miles offshore Ocean City, Maryland, and has the potential to support between 850 and 1450 MW of commercial wind generation, according to the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
