The MMS has received a request from Cape Wind Associates, LLC (CWA) for a lease, easement or right-of-way to construct and operate a wind park located in Federal waters 4.7 miles offshore Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Landfall for the transmission cable would be in Barnstable County.

The proposal consists of 130, 3.6 megawatt wind turbine generators covering 24 square miles in Federal waters of Nantucket Sound off Massachusetts with the capacity to produce about 468 megawatts. The average expected production from the proposed wind farm could provide about 75 percent of the electricity demand for Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. At average expected production, Cape Wind could produce enough energy to power more than 200,000 homes in Massachusetts.
