Offshore wind is coming to the U.S. West Coast. Federal lease auctions are expected by fall of 2022, with the first round supporting some 4.6 gigawatts (GW) of power – and that’s just off California. West Coast states are getting on track to establish a sustainable floating wind industry that will generate jobs and economic development for decades. California, with its landmark AB 525 legislation, is setting a path towards integrating 10 GW or more of offshore wind in its climate and clean-power strategy. Oregon, Washington and Hawaii are working to add offshore wind to their clean-power portfolios. These West Coast opportunities hold tremendous promise, but they also require different technologies, supply chains, and construction methods than fixed-bottom projects on the Atlantic Coast.
Key questions will be addressed at this must-attend conference for those participating in this West-Coast industry:
Get answers to these questions and more March 28-30, 2022 in San Francisco when Offshore Wind California (OWC) and Infocast bring together industry players, senior government officials, and other stakeholders to discuss these issues. Join us at the Pacific Offshore Wind Summit to get the latest on siting, permitting and environmental issues; explore floating wind technology advances; and better understand the road map for development.
Summit proceedings kick-off March 28 with an Executive Briefing on Planning and Preparation for California Lease Auctions, where attendees will meet policymakers, regulators, stakeholders, and gain in-depth knowledge in this new clean-power market. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
