Bureau of Ocean Energy Management | Central Atlantic Intergovernmental Renewable Energy
BOEM is responsible for offshore renewable energy development in federal waters. The program began in 2009, when the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced the final regulations for the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Renewable Energy Program, which was authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). These regulations provide a framework for all of the activities needed to support production and transmission of energy from sources other than oil and natural gas.
In 2020, the Virginia Clean Economy Act was passed into law which created the Commonwealth’s first Clean Energy Standard committing to transitioning the electric grid to 100% clean energy by 2050. BOEM received a letter from Virginia’s governor requesting the formation of a renewable energy regional task force that could lead to a lease sale. BOEM agreed to create a Central Atlantic Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force encompassing the area offshore Delaware south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
