On October 28, the Department of the Interior announced that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) will conduct an environmental review of the proposed Mayflower Wind Energy’s plan to build up to 147 wind turbines and up to 5 offshore power substations approximately 30 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and 23 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
We would like to remind you that during the 30-day comment period, which closes December 1, BOEM is holding three virtual public meetings to allow stakeholders to learn more about the project, ask questions, and provide oral testimony to help inform the environmental review. The meetings will be held at the following dates and times (Eastern):
- Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021, 5:00 pm
- Monday, Nov. 15, 2021, 1:00 pm
- Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021, 5:00 pm
Detailed information about the proposed projects, and how to comment in writing, can be found on BOEM’s website at Mayflower Wind | Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (boem.gov).
We hope to see you there.
