South Carolina receives federal money to promote offshore wind energy

The South Carolina Energy Office received $109,000 from the federal government to educate the public on wind energy potential and advocate for its development off the South Carolina and Georgia coasts. In May, the DOE selected 53 new wind energy projects for federal funding, including this outreach effort, which will be led by the South Carolina Energy Office in collaboration with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, and various utilities.
