The U.S. Offshore Wind Market Report & Insights 2021 offers an analysis of federal and state government activity, which will help you better evaluate how the latest offshore wind industry developments may affect your business planning, and how the U.S. fits into the global offshore wind market. States along the Eastern Seaboard have now committed to install approximately 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2035. The U.S. offshore wind market experienced significant growth during 2020, with the execution of vessel contracts, hundreds of millions of dollars in state government-funded port investments, and the execution of major supply chain contracts. Legislation impacting the U.S. offshore wind industry was introduced at both the state and federal levels. This report also outlines the key offshore wind project developments of 2020 and selected events from early 2021.
