BANGOR - A Boston-based wind power developer has been meeting with state leaders about plans to develop a complex of wind turbines at a yet to be determined site in the Gulf of Maine.

Blue H USA says it's looking for a location that would have minimal impact on fisheries and the environment, and is far enough at sea so that the large turbines would not be visible from land.

Maine is becoming one of the premier areas on the East Coast for wind energy, but all of the projects that have been approved or proposed thus far are based on land.

Experts estimate that more than 100,000 megawatts of potential wind energy could be tapped in the Gulf of Maine, which has strong and steady winds year round.
