Our goal is to unlock the transformative potential of responsibly developed offshore wind power.

To achieve the clean energy goals needed for a healthy climate, we must harness the abundant offshore wind resource off U.S. shores. We believe that offshore wind power can be developed responsibly, in a manner that protects marine and coastal wildlife every step of the way. That is why we work with a broad coalition of partners to ensure this industry fuels a new energy chapter, in which communities and wildlife can thrive.
