Maine seeks $456m federal grant to build offshore wind port on Sears Island, aiming to become a hub for the growing industry. The $760m project, set to be completed by 2029, would create the first purpose-built facility for floating turbines in the US, with a semi-submersible barge marking a first for the country. The location is favored due to its proximity to Gulf of Maine wind energy areas.
