  5. 20% Wind Energy by 2030 2 % 20 %

  6. Where is it windy?

  7. Land-Based Wind

  8. Fentress Virginia’s offshore wind potential is large.Is it cost-competitive with fossil fuel generation? VCERC identified 25 MMS lease blocks that appeared to have minimal conflict with existing uses by the Navy, NASA-Wallops, commercial shipping, or commercial fishing. These are all beyond 12 nautical miles offshore and in water depths less than 100 ft, and could support 3,200 MW of wind capacity generating 11 TWh/yr, or 10% of VA’s annual energy demand.

  9. BOEM Announced First-Ever Renewable Energy Lease Sales on the Outer Continental Shelf • BOEM proposes in December 2012 leasing nearly 278,000 acres offshore Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Virginia for Wind Energy OffshoreWind
