Support Offshore Wind

Leading the clean transition to America’s energy future

Offshore wind power is the next major source of clean energy in the United States.

Os EUA têm um recurso energético abundante no vento offshore, que pode suportar dezenas de milhares de novos empregos, fortalecer as economias costeiras e fornecer vastas quantidades de energia limpa e confiável às comunidades americanas. As margens da América possuem um potencial de potência de mais de 2.000 gigawatts (GW), quase dobrar o uso atual de eletricidade do país.

Offshore Wind Making Significant Strides to Boost the Economy and Job Creation

U.S. Offshore Wind Poised for Exponential Growth

O relatório do mercado eólico offshore dos EUA 2024 mostra que a indústria planeja investir US $ 65 bilhões em projetos eólicos offshore até 2030, criando benefícios econômicos substanciais, incluindo 56.000 empregos nos Estados Unidos

Other key economic highlights from the report:

  • Capacity Under Development : Across 37 leases in the U.S., there is more than 56 GW of offshore wind capacity under development, capable of powering approximately 22 million homes. Market analysts forecast that there will be 14 GW of offshore wind deployed by 2030, 30 GW by 2033, and 40 GW online by 2035. These outlooks build on the 7.6 GW of offshore wind projects seeking to be operational by the end of 2027.
  • Boom in Domestic Shipbuilding & Supply Chain Investments : Offshore wind is helping drive domestic U.S. shipbuilding, port infrastructure, and other supply chain activities. There are more than 40 new vessels currently on order or under construction to support the industry. The industry committed a record $3 billion of supply chain investment in 2023 alone, with total infrastructure investment announcements now exceeding $9 billion.
  • Deployment Projections : The report forecasts substantial capacity growth in the coming years. Projections indicate deployment of 14 GW by 2030, 30 GW by 2033, and 40 GW by 2035, building on the foundation of 7.6 GW slated for operation by the end of 2027.
  • Contribuições de Estado: mais a costa de Estado: 268 States are pivotal in driving offshore wind development, particularly along the Northeast coast, where ongoing solicitations could secure procurement contracts for an additional 8,800-12,200 MW of offshore wind projects in the second half of 2024,.
  • Regulatory Developments : The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is advancing offshore wind projects with plans for significant lease sales in key regions, potentially opening 1.9 million acres of federal waters for future development.

Os eleitores americanos favorecem fortemente a energia eólica offshore

O vento offshore é popular entre os residentes costeiros dos EUA, com 2/3 dos eleitores em apoio à expansão da energia eólica offshore e da maioria, como benéfico para lidar com as mudanças climáticas e melhorar a economia. As maiorias tiveram pouco ou nenhuma preocupação com os impactos no turismo. Vance Hull, diretor de desenvolvimento de negócios, explica por que o vento offshore apresenta uma oportunidade de desenvolver uma nova cadeia de suprimentos e força de trabalho na Virgínia costeira.

Voices of Support for Offshore Wind Todos os apoiadores

O vento offshore tem um forte apoio bipartidário de funcionários eleitos nos níveis nacional, estadual e local, bem como de líderes de negócios e do setor. O eólico offshore alimentará nossas comunidades, avançará nossos objetivos de justiça ambiental e estimulará nossa economia criando milhares de empregos sindicais bem remunerados em todo o país. Custos em queda, avanços tecnológicos, demanda disparada e grande potencial econômico combinaram -se para tornar o vento offshore uma avenida altamente promissora para aumentar um portfólio de energia nacional diversificado. A prateleira continental externa dos EUA fornece um recurso eólico de classe mundial nas costas do Atlântico e do Pacífico. Quando atingirmos nossa meta de 7.500 megawatts, a infraestrutura eólica offshore de Nova Jersey gerará eletricidade para alimentar mais de 3,2 milhões de casas e atender a cinquenta por cento da necessidade de energia elétrica do nosso estado. Nossa indústria eólica offshore gerará bilhões de dólares em investimentos no futuro de Nova Jersey, que, por sua vez, criarão milhares de empregos. Esse crescimento criará empregos nos Estados Unidos, com cerca de US $ 70 bilhões em novas despesas de capital entrarem no mercado na próxima década. [O vento offshore está] na vanguarda da tecnologia de energia de amanhã e fornecerá o tipo de empregos de alta qualidade e de apoio familiar necessário para uma economia nacional saudável.

America’s clean energy transition is not a dream for a distant future – it is happening right here and now. Offshore wind will power our communities, advance our environmental justice goals, and stimulate our economy by creating thousands of good-paying union jobs across the nation.

Secretary of the Interior
Deb Haaland

The demand for offshore wind energy has never been greater. Plummeting costs, technological advances, skyrocketing demand and great economic potential have all combined to make offshore wind a highly promising avenue for adding to a diversified national energy portfolio. The U.S. Outer Continental Shelf provides a world-class wind resource on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Deputy Director
Walter Cruickshank

There is no other renewable energy resource that provides us with either the electric-generation or economic-growth potential of offshore wind. When we reach our goal of 7,500 megawatts, New Jersey’s offshore wind infrastructure will generate electricity to power more than 3.2 million homes and meet fifty percent of our state’s electric power need. Our offshore wind industry will generate billions of dollars in investments in New Jersey’s future, that will, in turn, create thousands of jobs.

New Jersey Governor
Phil Murphy (D)

The offshore wind energy industry is at the beginning of what many predict will be a tremendous expansion. This growth will create jobs across the United States as some $70 billion in new capital expenditures enter the market over the next decade.

National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA)
President Erik Milito

Fully developing the offshore wind industry’s potential will play a critical role in building out America’s future energy landscape. [Offshore wind is] at the cutting edge of tomorrow’s energy technology and will provide the type of high quality, family-supporting jobs needed for a healthy national economy.
