Offshore Wind Laboratory

The international SustainableBusiness.com website noted plans by the oil company Statoil to build the world’s largest floating wind farm off the Maine coast with research assistance from the University of Maine’s Wind Energy Lab. Maine is considered a prime location for offshore wind projects because of state policy and the UMaine lab, “where they are working on tools for construction and siting that conflict the least with other uses,” according to the report.
