Advancing Offshore Wind Energy in the United States: U.S. Department of Energy Strategic Contributions Toward 30 Gigawatts and Beyond - Highlights

Research output: NRELBrochure

Abstract

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) critical role in enabling the nation to usher in the energy system of the future, this report presents a departmentwide offshore wind strategy for DOE's contribution to accelerating offshore wind energy development in the United States and unlocking its climate and economic benefits. This strategy represents DOE's role as a part of the Biden administration's all-of-government approach to advancing offshore wind energy. Furthermore, it is focuses on achieving the Biden administration's goals of deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030, 15 GW of floating offshore wind by 2035, and establishing a path to 110 GW or more of offshore wind by 2050, all in support of the administration's broader goal of an economy with net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
