What's the Future of US Offshore Wind?
A Friday Special Edition
⏱️ 2 min read ⏱️
Long week? Take a moment to catch up with the headlines now and listen to Episode 236. This week, Allen, Joel and Phil wade into the murky depths of US offshore development.
What’s going on? While Vestas is putting some wind farms off the east coast of the US, Siemens Gamesa has walked away from plans to build a blade factory in Virginia - and the BOEM backlog is still a problem.
So the answer is, nothing is happening very fast.
We take a broad view of the marketplace, looking at the US manufacturing capacity that’s needed, the investment potential, employment landscape, and how the country’s onshore wind industry may help fuel its offshore development.
Speaking of Onshore Wind
If our Wind Farm of the Week had a theme song, it would have to be by Rogers and Hammerstein. Enel Green Power’s 301.74 MW Seven Cowboy Wind Project is Enel’s 13th wind farm in the Oklahoma, where the wind indeed goes sweeping down the plain. Go ahead, sing along.
