The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) announced the completion of a two-year study into potential ecological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) emitted by sub-sea power transmission cables. The study’s key findings relate to engineering solutions that reduce
Georgia’s wind resource is vast; however, no large-scale wind farms have been built onshore or offshore of the Peach State. Nearly 2,000 megawatts (MW) of onshore wind resource exists in Georgia, and another 60,000 MW resides offshore. A single megawatt of wind capacity can generate enough electrici
