Leading the clean transition to America’s energy future
The U.S. has an abundant energy resource in offshore wind, which can support tens of thousands of new jobs, strengthen coastal economies, and deliver vast amounts of clean, reliable energy to American communities. America’s shores possess a power potential of more than 2,000 gigawatts (GW), nearly double the nation’s current electricity use.
Send a letter to your elected officials today and urge them to support offshore wind during this critical time for our economy and environment.
The 2024 U.S. Offshore Wind Market Report shows the industry plans to invest $65 billion in offshore wind projects by 2030, creating substantial economic benefits, including 56,000 jobs across the United States
Other key economic highlights from the report:
Offshore wind is popular among U.S. coastal residents, with 2/3 of voters in support of expanding offshore wind energy and majorities seeing it as beneficial in addressing climate change and improving the economy. Majorities had little to no concern about impacts on tourism.
Colonna’s Shipyard has been in business for over 145 years. Vance Hull, Director of Business Development, explains why offshore wind presents an opportunity to develop a new supply chain and workforce in coastal Virginia.
Offshore wind has strong, bipartisan support from elected officials at the national, state, and local levels as well as from business and industry leaders.
America’s clean energy transition is not a dream for a distant future – it is happening right here and now. Offshore wind will power our communities, advance our environmental justice goals, and stimulate our economy by creating thousands of good-paying union jobs across the nation.
Secretary of the Interior The demand for offshore wind energy has never been greater. Plummeting costs, technological advances, skyrocketing demand and great economic potential have all combined to make offshore wind a highly promising avenue for adding to a diversified national energy portfolio. The U.S. Outer Continental Shelf provides a world-class wind resource on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Deputy DirectorThere is no other renewable energy resource that provides us with either the electric-generation or economic-growth potential of offshore wind. When we reach our goal of 7,500 megawatts, New Jersey’s offshore wind infrastructure will generate electricity to power more than 3.2 million homes and meet fifty percent of our state’s electric power need. Our offshore wind industry will generate billions of dollars in investments in New Jersey’s future, that will, in turn, create thousands of jobs.
New Jersey GovernorThe offshore wind energy industry is at the beginning of what many predict will be a tremendous expansion. This growth will create jobs across the United States as some $70 billion in new capital expenditures enter the market over the next decade.
National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA)Fully developing the offshore wind industry’s potential will play a critical role in building out America’s future energy landscape. [Offshore wind is] at the cutting edge of tomorrow’s energy technology and will provide the type of high quality, family-supporting jobs needed for a healthy national economy.
