Deciding where to connect offshore wind generators to the electricity grid is a key piece to developing the new power source in the region. A report looks to New Hampshire as an “attractive” option over neighboring states like Maine and Massachusetts.
A new report explores New Hampshire’s potential to provide infrastructure for offshore wind, showing the state’s infrastructure could play a role in the development of the renewable energy resource in the Gulf of Maine, but faces some challenges to do so., released Thursday by three state agencies, also explores how wind power could help the region reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In Massachusetts, challenges the report identified include the state’s distance from likely locations for wind turbines and the potential for difficult siting given the busy nature of Boston.In New Hampshire, recently retired electricity generating facilities like the Schiller Station could become points of interconnection, according to the study.
Communities that host cable infrastructure could negotiate Community Benefits Agreements with developers of those projects. But, he said, the renewable energy source could help meet new demand for electricity with resources that emit less greenhouse gas, keeping new generation assets powered by fossil fuels off the system.New Hampshire has reduced its emissions significantly since 2004, but those reductions have been highly influenced by steps other states have made to reduce the demand on the regional grid. And emissions are projected to stay the same through 2030 without new policies, the report says.
