OMNI Features｜BOEM Finalizes Wind Energy Areas in Oregon / BlackRock Acquires Eversource Energy Stakes in US Offshore Wind / Germany Publishes Standard PPA Contract
In support of the Biden-Harris administration's goals for deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced the designation of two final Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) offshore Oregon. The WEAs were developed following extensive engagement and feedback from the state, Tribes, local residents, ocean users, federal government partners, and other members of the public. The final WEAs are based on reducing potential conflicts of ocean users, particularly on commercial fishing.

OMNI Features｜Japan eyes expanding offshore wind beyond territorial waters to EEZ / Czech government intends to expands nuclear power tender
Japan is preparing to allow offshore wind farms beyond its territorial waters in its much larger exclusive economic zone, with a more involved approval process that will require companies to secure consent from local interests such as fishing operations before they build. The proposed change would open up as much as 10 times as large an area for wind projects. Japan's territorial waters (the area up to 12 nautical miles from the coast) span 430,000 sq. kilometers, according to the Japan Coast Guard. The exclusive economic zone, which extends 200 nautical miles beyond that border, encompass about 4.47 million sq. km, considering the sixth-largest such area in the world.
