 Hydropower: In addition to large-scale hydropower plants, there are also smaller-scale run-of-river hydropower projects in the Great Lakes region. These projects do not require the construction of dams but instead rely on the natural flow of rivers or streams to generate electricity. Run-of-river hydropower projects have minimal environmental impact and can be integrated into existing infrastructure. Offshore Wind Power: The Great Lakes region has seen significant growth in offshore wind power development. Lake Erie, in particular, has become a hub for offshore wind farms. These projects involve the installation of wind turbines in the water, typically several miles offshore, where wind speeds are higher and more consistent. Offshore wind power has the advantage of utilizing available space without competing with other land uses. Onshore Wind Power: In addition to offshore wind farms, the Great Lakes region also has a substantial onshore wind power capacity. Wind turbines are installe
