Meet Deepwater Wind and US Wind: Maryland Offshore Wind Industry

With the Nation’s first offshore wind project in the water, the Block Island Wind Farm has led the way to a U.S. offshore wind market.

More than 4 GW of offshore wind will be built off the Northeast coast. Maryland is poised to capture a significant portion of the estimated 58,000 jobs anticipated from the present regional 5-6 GW offshore wind pipeline, especially if Maryland moves forward with its own project.

Maryland ports, businesses and a workforce could assemble the heavy steel components: foundations, transition pieces, and towers as well manufacture cables and crew vessels, to become the main supply hub for the U.S. east coast.

This is your chance to hear directly from the two offshore wind developers– Deepwater Wind and US Wind.

Learn about the two proposed projects, project timeline and contracting strategies.
