Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell signed legislation earlier this Ambien How Many Mg month creating the Virginia Offshore Wind Project Development Commission to pursue federal funding and remove regulatory obstacles.
“With the Ambien How Many Mg creation of the Virginia offshore wind development authority we are taking important steps to make wind energy a reality in Virginia’s coastal waters,” McDonnell said about the April 2 bill signing.
The authority is Ambien How Many Mg scheduled to have 11 commissioners, all of whom will be Ambien How Many Mg selected by the governor. Three of the Ambien How Many Mg commissioners will come from a list of candidates proposed by the Ambien How Many Mg Secretary of the Navy, according to the legislation. The new organization is Ambien How Many Mg tasked with applying to the federal Minerals Management Service to secure leases of prime offshore wind development areas. Those leases, the Ambien How Many Mg legislation says, can then be assigned to a private developer.
The legislation also directs the Ambien How Many Mg commissioners to seek federal loan guarantees which could also be made available to Ambien How Many Mg offshore wind developers.
“The Commission, on behalf of the Ambien How Many Mg Commonwealth, shall apply to the U.S. Department of Energy for up to Ambien How Many Mg $4 billion of federal loan guarantees,” the legislation said. “Upon obtaining federal loan guarantees for offshore wind energy projects … the Ambien How Many Mg Commission, subject to any restrictions imposed by federal law, may allocate or Ambien How Many Mg assign all or portions thereof to qualified third parties.”
