Bluepoint Wind

Our External Affairs team recently stopped by SouthWardEA SWEA in Newark, New Jersey to attend the recognition ceremony for the first cohort of their Green Alliance Leadership Academy (GALA). 🎓 SWEA, a leading environmental justice organization in Northern NJ, launched the Passport to Green Jobs and Careers workforce development program this past September with plans to conduct a total of 4 cohorts until early 2026. The GALA fellows will learn about environmental leadership, air and water quality, #greenjobs, civic engagement around sustainability, and so much more. Bluepoint Wind was honored to be invited to teach the #offshorewind portion of the training. ⚡ Our team delivered a presentation on offshore wind construction and operations, and also drew the connection between #cleanenergy and environmental justice. We also looked at the types of #careers and training needed to join our industry. Bluepoint Wind is proud to invest our time and resources to support the tremendously impactful work of community-based organizations like SWEA. 🤝 We look forward to working with additional organizations in the region to build an inclusive and diverse offshore wind workforce.

That’s a wrap on #ACPoffshore24! 🎉 Our OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA team had a fantastic time connecting with other #offshorewind professionals and hearing from industry leaders at this year’s Offshore WINDPOWER Conference. ⚡ Thank you to the American Clean Power Association (ACP) team and to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about our U.S. projects. It was an honor to be a Presenting Sponsor of the conference and to have our OW NA speakers share their valuable insights and reflections on the industry with conference attendees. 💡 This event highlighted the growth and momentum of the U.S. offshore wind sector, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s Offshore WINDPOWER in Boston! #proudtobeOW #ACPoffshore24 #renewableenergy

Another American Clean Power Association (ACP) Offshore WINDPOWER has blown by 💨 and what a time it was! Our Bluepoint Wind team was delighted to be united with our OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA colleagues in #AtlanticCity and take part in exhibiting on the expo floor. We also got a chance to hear from notable industry experts including our own OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA leaders, who took the stage to talk 🎤 about about the state of the industry. The excitement didn’t stop there...   ⚡ We connected with suppliers and more than 350 attendees at New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) & NYSERDA’s Offshore Wind Supplier Forum that happened alongside the conference.   ⚡ The team later joined our friends KidWind Project, Inc. whom we supported to bring educators from across the region for a day at the conference. Teachers 👩🏽🏫 had the opportunity to learn about offshore wind, careers in wind energy, and spend the time learning directly from industry at panel sessions or on the expo floor.   We always enjoy ACP Offshore WINDPOWER for the wealth of connections we make, and this year was no different. See you in Boston for ACP offshore WINDPOWER 2025!   #NYNJ #ACPOffshore24 #CleanEnergy

This past weekend, the Bluepoint Wind team joined Newark’s Office of Sustainability for their tree planting effort 🌱 around the Ironbound section of Newark. This initiative was part of the City of Newark’s larger effort to combat urban heat island effect 🥵 and cultivate greener neighborhoods. This tree-mendous 🌳 effort was carried out by local volunteers, Rutgers University students, and members of the Ironbound district! Bluepoint Wind be-leafs in participating in local initiatives to make our communities greener 🍃 and more sustainable. We hope to see you at the next Newark tree planting 🌱 ! 

Thank you to The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ) for hosting this important conversation. Be sure to tune in next week!

This time last week our Bluepoint Wind team travelled down the Jersey coast to Atlantic City for the 7th annual Time for Turbines. Bluepoint Wind is pleased to have been a sponsor of this year’s conference and prior years’. Our project’s CEO, John Dempsey, also joined a panel of fellow offshore wind NY Bight lessees to discuss the future of wind energy in the #GardenState. It was great to hear from such a diversity of stakeholders from state leaders, including NJ first lady Tammy Murphy, to organized labor, environmental justice leaders, and local suppliers, on their hopes for the future development of the industry. It’s an exciting time to be a part of offshore wind as we lay the groundwork for New Jersey’s clean energy future. Thank you to #JerseyRenews for another stellar conference!

Did you enjoy #ClimateWeekNYC 🗽? The Bluepoint Wind team sure did! This year, the team celebrated #ClimateWeekNYC by participating in panels, beach clean-ups 🌊, and supporting community events all across #NYC and #LongIsland. We joined in vibrant conversations with diverse climate leaders and industry experts on environment, sustainability, and renewable energy. ⚡ The week started with the “Accelerating the Clean Transition” reception by the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA). ⚡ We then attended The New York Climate Exchange on Governor’s Island for discussions on critical #transmission upgrades. ⚡ In Queens, we heard from leaders on environmental justice at City & State’s 2nd Annual Climate Justice Forum with environmental leaders including White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi and WE ACT for Environmental Justice’s Peggy Shepard. ⚡ We heard from Bluepoint Wind CEO John Dempsey as he spoke to students at NYU Law School on a panel about NY's progress towards #netzero. ⚡ We visited The Nest Climate Campus to learn about global GHG reduction efforts and spent the evening on Long Island celebrating Citizens Campaign for the Environment's 39 years of advocacy. ⚡ We wrapped up the week at UPROSE's Climate Justice Lives Here Festival in Brooklyn, where we heard from Tribal and faith leaders on inspiring local action for the climate and the #JustTransition. A major theme emerged across all these events: addressing today’s climate challenges requires collective action and a collaborative approach 🤝 from community, industry, government, and the private sector. Bluepoint Wind is committed to doing our part to support a clean energy 🍃 future for the region. What was your takeaway from Climate Week 2024?
