Setting the Course for Energy Independence Projected Job Creation if Supply Chain Is Maximized in Maine 125 Jobs per year 125 Jobs per year 320 Jobs per year 4,500 Jobs per year 7,000-15,000 Jobs per year PHASE 1 2010-2012 Design, build, deploy, and test 1/3 scale (100 ft to hub) foating wind turbine prototype in the Monhegan test site.
Build ofshore wind laboratory at UMaine.
PHASE 2 2012-2014 Design, build, deploy, and test the frst full-scale (300 ft to hub) foating wind turbine prototype (3-5 MW).
PHASE 3 2014-2016 Design, build, deploy, and test the frst 25 MW stepping-stone foating wind farm in the world (fve 5 MW turbines) 10-50 miles ofshore.
Maine LD 1810 (April 2010) will enable project.
PHASE 4 2018-2020 Expand 25 MW stepping-stone farm to a 500-1,000 MW (up to 200 x 5 MW turbines) commercial farm 10-50 miles ofshore.
PHASE 5 2020-2030 Build a network of commercial foating farms with a 4,000 MW capacity 10-50 miles ofshore. Each farm will be 500-1,000 MW with a goal of four to eight such farms. Total installed capacity: 5,000 MW by 2030. Each 1,000 MW will be approximately 8 miles x 8 miles.
This will attract $20 billion of investment to Maine.
