Offshore wind generates more than electricity.
The U.S. goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030 is expected to fuel
four big benefits.
1. Billions in manufacturing investments-$1.9 billion+ in just two years. (Source: January 2022-May 2023 data in U.S. Department of Energy’s 2023 “Offshore Wind Market Report.”)
2. Major funding for ports-$760 million+ announced in just two years. (Source: January 2022-May 2023 data in U.S. Department of Energy’s 2023 “Offshore Wind Market Report.”)
3. 2,100 turbines-and a growing workforce to build them. (Source: National Renewable Energy Lab, 2023.)
4. Up to 49,000 new jobs for U.S. manufacturers and suppliers. (Source: National Renewable Energy Lab, 2023.)
