Deepwater, based in Rhode Island, says its agreement signed several months ago with Principle Power solidifies its position as the leading American offshore wind developer.

“The WindFloat Pacific project is an exciting opportunity to bring offshore wind energy to the U.S. West Coast and to expand Deepwater’s Wind’s growing portfolio of clean energy projects,” says Deepwater chief executive Jeffrey Grybowski. 

The five-turbine WindFloat Pacific project would be built within a 15-square mile lease area in federal waters roughly 15 miles off Coos Bay, Oregon.
