An Assessment of the Economic Potential of Offshore Wind in the United States from 2015 to 2030
- National Renewable Energy Lab. (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
This study describes an assessment of the spatial variation of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and levelized avoided cost of energy to understand the economic viability of fixed-bottom and floating offshore wind technologies across major U.S. coastal areas between 2015 and 2030. In particular, this study offers insights into the available offshore wind resource by region at different levels of LCOE and an assessment of the economically viable resource capacity in the United States.
