Thank you for visiting our Research and Media page. We are currently enhancing this section to bring you more comprehensive and updated information about the impacts and developments related to the Central Coast Offshore Wind Project. Our goal is to provide in-depth analyses, the latest studies, and relevant media coverage.
While we are updating this page, we encourage you to visit our Offshore Wind: Central Coast Overview page, where you can find current information and ongoing updates about the project.
Please check back soon as we continue to build and enhance this valuable resource. In the meantime, if you have any specific questions or need immediate information, please feel free to contact us at Contact@REACTalliance.org
“But wind turbines do not actually operate at 100% efficiency. They operate at 35% to 45% efficiency. However due to the intermittency and variation of the wind the actual output is much worse. The effect of the enhanced fluctuations is dramatic. The capacity factor, the ratio of actual delivered power for offshore wind is 20-40%.”
“Industrial activity and development of ports can result in significant environmental burdens for communities living near the ports, including air, water, noise and light pollution (EPA, 2021). This not only affects residents but also workers and visitors who might recreate near port areas.”
