Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. (LEEDCo) put two engineer-procure-construct packages out for bid in June for an onshore substation and submarine cable and installation for its planned
18-MW lake-based wind project in Cleveland.
The U.S. offshore wind industry shows strong potential, especially in the Northeast, the Great Lakes region and California, but it still has a long way to go.
Wagner Ohio's energy plans may be more focused on coal and shale than on renewable energy these days, but that's not stopping Cleveland-based nonprofit LEEDco.
