The room was buzzing yesterday with optimism about the market at the inaugural New England & Atlantic Canada OSW Forum in Portland, Maine! Over 100 industry leaders and government officials convened to discuss how both countries can work collaboratively to grow the regional offshore wind industry. Thanks to our host sponsor Preti Flaherty and supporting sponsors GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. and Worley. A few takeaways: 📌 Maine and Canada already have a strong working relationship and share a cultural identity 📌 Both regions need to work together to develop transmission infrastructure 📌 Offshore wind development for New England and Canada is technically (floating) very similar, but the regulatory landscape differs 📌 Supply chain readiness is key 📌 Build ports now: "If we wait until we need it, it's too late." 📌 Start engagement early with local communities Did you attend? What were some of your takeaways?
