Offshore wind power company Bluewater Wind has announced an agreement to build America’s first offshore wind turbine park off the coast of Delaware. Each turbine will reside on a slim tower about 250 feet above the waterline. From the shore, the park will be visible only on clear winter days, and the turbines will be nearly invisible during summer months when Rehoboth Beach fills with vacationers. Each blade on the three-blade rotor is to be 150 feet long. The wind farm will power 50,000 homes in Delaware, using about half of its capacity.” The initial plan calls for about 60 large wind turbines about 11 miles east of Rehoboth Beach. Bluewater Wind LLC is a member of the Arcadia Wind Holdings LLC family of companies, which successfully developed the 181 MW Judith Gap Wind Farm in Montana. Judith Gap was developed after Arcadia won a competition among 45 bidders of all generation technology types. The first phase of this project, at 135 MW, began commercial operation in November 2005. The balance of the project is expected to be built in 2007.
