BSEE Conducts First-ever Unannounced Exercise for Offshore Wind
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) recently conducted the first-ever government-initiated, unannounced exercise of an offshore renewable energy facility. This exercise is a significant step in ensuring the environmental safety of the growing offshore wind industry. BSEE evaluated Vineyard Wind's ability to respond to a spill by activating their incident management team and following their approved plan. While wind farms don't have the risk of a major blowout like oil rigs, they still use oil and fluids for operations, making spill response crucial. BSEE conducts these exercises as part of its mission to protect the environment.
