"Unleashing the Potential: US Offshore Wind's Vision for 2050"
A study by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has found that US offshore wind has the potential to generate 133 GW of power by 2050, accounting for 8% of US electricity. However, the deployment of offshore wind will be influenced by various factors, including decarbonization policies, technology costs, siting options for onshore renewables, and interregional transmission. The study highlights the need for greater coordination between local, state, and federal authorities in the power sector and offshore wind infrastructure planning.
