ABOUT THIS WEBINAR: Three major areas of concern facing any offshore wind project are federal and state incentives, environmental permitting and siting, and supply chain/logistics issues. Join us for a well-rounded
discussion on what factors you need to consider when becoming involved with any offshore wind project. Discussion points will cover:
Government Incentives What existing and proposed federal and state incentives and policy initiatives have been established to promote the development, construction and financing of offshore wind farms?
How successful have these incentives and initiatives been or will be in the future?
What incentives and initiatives are still needed?
Environmental Permitting Is permitting for offshore waters within the jurisdiction of states?
How do a host of state and federal agencies with over-lapping jurisdictions coordinate for offshore wind projects?
What role do public interest groups have on a project and what are the opportunities to challenge a project (from maritime interests to avian interests and in between)?
Supply Chain/Logistics What supply chain/logistics challenges and opportunities are associated with the constructing, operating, and maintaining offshore wind generation system?
How do shipbuilding and ship repair factor into these challenges?
What critical role is the Jones Act expected to play in meeting the industry’s maritime support needs?
