Project Specifications

Client: California State Lands Commission

Location: Santa Barbara County

Services: Environmental Review & Permitting, Biological Resources, Air Quality & Climate Services, Planning & Public Policy

The California State Lands Commission (CSLC) has selected Aspen to prepare the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for California’s first offshore wind turbines. The CADEMO Project will include four floating wind turbines using two different forms of foundations. The turbines will generate 12 to 15 MW each, with a maximum capacity of up to 60 MW.

CADEMO is proposed about 2.8 miles off Point Arguello, offshore of Vandenberg Space Force Base. The four turbines would be connected by inter-array cables, and the electricity generated would be carried to shore in a subsea cable, landing at Vandenberg. An overhead line onshore would be constructed to transmit the power to PG&E’s existing Surf Substation.
