The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has just announced its first-ever offshore wind lease sale for the Gulf of Mexico. As you prepare your bids, be cautious of engineering-based wake models and their limitations in modeling long wakes. As our numerical weather prediction-based WakeMap software below shows, long wakes will be factor in the Gulf and will have considerable impact on the relative financials of the different lease areas.

Reach out to us at Veer Renewables to purchase this WakeMap data set and head into the auction with your eyes wide open.
