BOSTON — Unveiled in Charlestown on Friday, an updated federal strategy for offshore wind development aims to develop 86,000 megawatts of power across the United States by 2050, support 160,000 jobs, and address 30 specific challenges facing the growing industry.
The strategy is in keeping with the thrust of a new Massachusetts law designed to procure 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind power here, primarily in the waters south of Martha's Vineyard where energy companies have leased development rights from the federal government.
