In case you missed the announcement in today’s Post and Courier….
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) recently issued a Call for information and Nominations to gauge the offshore wind industry’s interest in acquiring commercial wind leases in four areas offshore South Carolina. In addition, BOEM plans to prepare an Environmental Assessment for Commercial Wind Leasing and Site Assessment Activities on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf offshore South Carolina.
BOEM will host 3 identical meetings to gather feedback on the issues and alternatives to be analyzed in the Environmental Assessment, including the issuing of commercial wind energy leases and related activities. The meetings will also be an opportunity to learn about BOEM’s offshore renewable energy planning and leasing process.
The meeting scheduled for the Charleston area will take place on January 5th at 6pm at the Mason Preparatory School located at 56 Halsey Boulevard, Charleston.
