Overview
Wood Mackenzie Focus is a free-to-attend 90-minute virtual series with exclusive content on the most pressing challenges and opportunities in clean energy.
Strong federal support is the springboard that the US offshore wind sector needs to surpass the Biden Administration’s target of 30 GW installed capacity by 2030. In conversation with some of the leading offshore wind developers and financiers in the US, WoodMac’s offshore wind subject matter experts will take an in-depth look at the opportunity this represents for global offshore wind developers, EPCs, investors and technology players.
Throughout 90 minutes of exclusive WoodMac forecasts and industry-led conversations, we will cover the biggest drivers and potential hurdles for US offshore wind project development across the Atlantic Coast, touching on project finance strategies, the impact of the ITC and PPA structuring models, permitting bottlenecks, the need for new transmission infrastructure and the opportunity of establishing domestic offshore wind technology and equipment manufacturing hubs in the US.
