Here’s a fun fact: Did you know Vineyard Wind 1 will offer $3.7 billion in energy related cost savings over the life of the project? And that’s not all. Learn more about the project’s short and long term benefits here: https://hubs.la/Q02n-NwJ0

Offshore wind will be a lynchpin of the clean energy transition. We’re building the country’s first large-scale offshore wind farm and expect it to deliver first power soon. Hear from our CEO Pedro Azagra and Chief Development Officer Ken Kimmell about the benefits of offshore wind and what’s needed to catalyze the development of this key resource: https://ow.ly/lKq650QkcPe

Unfortunately — and ironically — it looks like the wind energy business could be repeating the mistakes of the Pennsylvania oil drillers, leaving the public with a legacy that is equally challenging for society. If wind farm operators are to avoid creating an environmental and economic disaster in the longer term, they need to begin factoring realistic maintenance and decommissioning costs into their projections. https://lnkd.in/eXPNn9jK #offshorewind #climatechange

Offshore wind is finally here in NY - and a lot more is coming to help us get off fossil fuels and transition to a clean energy economy. Read my letter in the NY Times here:

Coastal residents recognize the power of offshore wind energy and want the industry to continue to grow and deliver for their local communities. According to a new poll released by Climate Nexus and Turn Forward, the majority of U.S. coastal county residents support offshore wind development and support remains high when asked about offshore wind construction near where they live. Reasons for support include wind energy supporting U.S. energy independence, energy reliability, jobs, and the economy. https://hubs.ly/Q02kncdc0

Next week March 5th, the US First Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments from lawyers representing fishermen who have raised concerns about the Vineyard Wind project, the pioneering utility-scale offshore wind energy initiative in the United States. Despite already generating renewable energy, opponents persist in their efforts to halt the project. Interestingly, the fishermen are represented by lawyers from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, working on broader debates surrounding energy policy and renewable versus fossil fuel sources. 🏗️💡 #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #VineyardWind #EnergyTransition

🌬️ It's good to see that work on the £10bn Norfolk Boreas wind farm off the coast of Cromer could resume after ministers agreed to a 66% increase in the amount they'll pay for offshore electricity generation. Last year, Swedish company Vattenfall paused work on the windfarm, as no bidders came forward for the offshore contracts as the energy companies thought the price was too low. Wind farms off the East Anglian coast currently produce 43% of England's wind power; it's expected that figure will grow with more developments in the pipeline.
