Proposed and Installed Offshore Wind Cable Landing Locations

Locations show both proposed and currently installed offshore export cable landfall points for wind energy projects. Data is provided by project lessees for planning and permitting review, and is updated as new public information becomes available. The dataset is maintained by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial density of proposed cable landings using the point locations to assess coastal zone impact.
• Compare proposed versus installed landing statuses to track project development stages.
• Model potential cable route corridors from offshore wind lease areas to the provided onshore landing points.
• Identify areas with multiple proposed landing options for contingency planning in project layouts.

Strengths

• Data includes both proposed and installed project statuses.
• Multiple proposed layout options are documented for some projects.
• Maintained by the authoritative U.S. Department of the Interior.

Limitations

• The total number of rows and specific data columns are unknown.
• Actual built locations may vary from the proposed points presented.
• Geographic coverage is limited to U.S. projects under Department of the Interior jurisdiction.
