Why Virginia Beach?

Coastal Virginia has quickly become a major player in the offshore wind industry. Offshore wind companies have been setting up shops and existing suppliers are rapidly expanding in preparation for upcoming offshore wind projects.   

One of the world’s largest ventures, the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, is expected to start construction in 2024. Once it is complete, the 2.6 GW project will be comprised of 176 monopiles, towers, and nacelles, and will generate a swarm of installation, operations, and maintenance activity. The region also holds the distinct honor of soon being the home base to the nation’s first American-flagged Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV).  

As these projects come online, Hampton Roads and Virginia Beach will serve as installation and operations hubs creating new jobs, business development opportunities and an active supply chain.
