Why Offshore Wind

For decades, oil and gas companies have harnessed energy off America’s coastlines. That deep knowledge and experience––guided largely by the Gulf region––springboarded a domestic offshore wind supply chain ready to deliver vessels, components, steel, and a skilled workforce to construct the commercial-scale projects along the East Coast. In recent years, emerging marine renewable energy sectors, including aquatic solar photovoltaic (PV), wave, tidal, and others are piloting innovative technologies that will deliver homegrown energy that American homes and businesses require as demand rises. 

Now, more than ever, all forms of energy are needed to meet ever-increasing energy demand. With several projects delivering power to the grid today, and five more under simultaneous construction, offshore wind will contribute nearly 6 GW of energy, enough to power more than 1.4 million homes, before the next decade.

    How Offshore Wind Works

    Offshore wind is a proven technology that harnesses the energy of the wind over the open sea, where the wind is more powerful and consistent, to generate electricity. It’s an efficient source of energy––utilized for over 3 decades in countries across the globe––that offers numerous economic benefits and offers a powerful solution to America’s growing energy demands. It is already contributing to job growth across a variety of sectors, revitalizing dormant domestic industries, and carving a path towards greater U.S. energy independence. Together with other energy sources, it can play a crucial part in an all-of-the-above energy approach.

    Meeting Future Energy Demands

    The Trump Administration has declared a National Energy Emergency that will require an all-of-the-above energy approach. In order to meet growing demand––anticipated to increase by double digits before the next decade––our energy mix must include reliable, affordable, American-made energy sources, including offshore wind.

    Offshore Wind & the Environment

    Recent studies show that offshore wind farms help spawn new marine habitats and maintain fish populations for local commercial fishing. Offshore wind has had a negligible impact on bird populations and multiple federal agencies have found no link between its development and whale strandings.
