Feds finalize areas for floating offshore wind farms along Oregon coast
The federal government has finalized two areas for floating offshore wind farms along the Oregon coast, authorities announced Tuesday, bringing the state closer to commercially developing and producing a renewable energy source that's part of the fight against climate change.
The two zones cover roughly 195,000 acres (78,914 hectares), located near the state line. They have the capacity for producing 2.4 gigawatts of energy, the agency said, enough to power roughly 800,000 homes.
