<p>BOEM is responsible for offshore renewable energy development in Federal waters. The program began in 2009, when the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced the final regulations for the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Program, which was authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). These regulations provide a framework for all of the activities needed to support production and transmission of energy from sources other than oil and natural gas.

It provides an efficient alternative to long-distance transmission or development of electricity generation in these land-constrained regions.</p> <p>Offshore wind facility design and engineering depends on site-specific conditions, particularly water depth, seabed geology, and wave loading.</p> <p>All wind turbines operate in the same basic manner. As the wind blows, it flows over the airfoil-shaped blades of wind turbines, causing the turbine blades to spin. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity. The newest wind turbines are technologically advanced and include engineering and mechanical innovations to help maximize efficiency and increase the production of electricity. For more information about wind turbine technology, see NREL’s “<a href="https://energy.gov/eere/wind/how-do-wind-turbines-work" target="_blank" title="Wind Energy Basics: How Wind Turbines Work">Wind Energy Basics: How Wind Turbines Work</a>".</p> <p>Offshore winds tend to blow harder and more uniformly than on land. Since higher wind speeds can produce significantly more energy/electricity, developers are increasingly interested in pursuing offshore wind energy resources. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides a number of maps showing average wind speed data through its Resource Assessment & Characterization page and through National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) <a href="https://www.nrel.gov/gis/wind.html">Wind Resource Data, Tools, and Maps</a>.</p> </p> </div> <div id="tabs-6756"> <p><p><strong>Ocean Wave Energy (Hydrokinetic)</strong></p> <div data-embed-button="media" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"link_url":"","link_url_target":0,"image_style":"max_width_400px","image_link":"","image_loading":{"attribute":"lazy"}}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="f4449d19-e771-4eeb-bf05-cb90951ebf5f" data-langcode="en" class="align-right embedded-entity"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/max_width_400px/public/images/ocean_wave_energy_hydrokinetic_2.jpg?itok=bBJ--Izp" width="250" height="164" alt="ocean_wave_energy_hydrokinetic" class="img img--max-width-400px"> </div> <p>Ocean waves contain tremendous energy potential.
