US Secretary Ken Salazar has announced approval of the first-ever Construction and Operation Plan (COP) for a US offshore wind energy project, granting Cape Wind Associates the official go-ahead to begin construction on the 130-turbine project across 25 square miles of Nantucket Sound.
Siemens will provide the turbines. Construction could begin as early as the fall. When complete, the project will produce enough electricity to supply hundreds of thousands of American homes.
