Final Regulatory Framework for Developing Outer Continental Shelf, Renewable Energy Resources, Offshore Wind, Wave, and Ocean Current
The Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) is holding a regional stakeholder workshop in Anchorage, Alaska, on November 10, 2009, and invites you to attend. The workshop is being held to allow stakeholders to learn about the newly published regulatory framework for renewable energy activities on the OCS and the MMS leasing process. The workshop will include discussions along with a questions and answers session. |
On April 29, 2009, the U.S. Department of the Interior issued the final regulatory framework on Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Leases issued under the regulatory framework will authorize activities related to renewable energy development, such as commercial development of offshore wind, wave, or ocean current or non-commercial activities related to assessing renewable energy potential in an area.
Additional information about the regulatory framework for offshore renewable energy is available at www.mms.gov/offshore/renewableenergy You will find a link to the final regulatory framework on this site.
