"Interior Moves Toward First Wind Lease Sales Off Calif. Coast"

"The Interior Department today [Thursday] advanced the first-ever potential offshore wind lease sales in two regions adjoining the California coast.

The “proposed sale notice” identifies three lease areas in the Morro Bay Wind Energy Area off central California and two proposed lease areas in the Humboldt Wind Energy Area off Northern California.

If they proceed following a 60-day public comment period and further review, the California wind lease sales would be the first in the Pacific Ocean region. Together, the areas span 373,268 acres and have the potential to generate more than 4.5 gigawatts of energy, according to Interior."
