National Marine Sanctuaries Webinar Series
Developing Offshore Wind in U.S. Waters Part 1:
The Planning and Regulatory Framework
July 19, 2023
6 am Hawaii `i / 9 am Pacific / 11 pm Central / 12 pm Eastern
The deployment of offshore wind energy facilities in U.S. waters has tremendous potential to help the country deliver on its climate change commitments and clean energy goals. It is also a reality beginning to take shape with the first commercial-scale facilities beginning construction in 2023 in the Northeast U.S.
In Part 1 of our climate series on ocean wind energy in U.S. waters, we will explore the historical and policy background and framing behind the U.S. wind energy transition, including an introduction to the planning and regulation processes and the players involved. This webinar will set the groundwork for future discussions exploring offshore wind energy, its future in U.S. waters, and its compatibility and interactions with marine protected areas and other ocean uses.
This webinar is co-sponsored by the NOAA National Marine Protected Areas Center and Open Communications for the Ocean (MPA News, OpenChannels, EBM Tools Network).
