It’s clear that we need to build a stronger foundation for U.S. OSW power . . . . Central to that is seeing U.S. projects built — not canceled or delayed. Using approrpriate policy levers we’ll keep on course to build out U.S. OSW at the scale we need. https://t.co/klYouOQ3Hn
Congratulations to @BOEM! This is truly a milestone, moving this project to construction and creating good-paying jobs for American energy workers. BOEM's tireless efforts for our clean energy future are impressive and inspiring!
🌊The Department of Interior has approved the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project.
⚡This project has an estimated capacity of 2.6GW, which could power over 900K homes.
💚 This is a significant milestone in our clean energy future. More details: https://t.co/Z2t0mVYjcX
@SouthForkWind is at the top of the list of so much good OSW news. Challenges exist for sure -- as with all energy industries - but as 2023 begins to wind down we've got #Steelinthewater, @NYSERDA's historic 4+ GW procurements & @BOEM's tremendous permitting and leasing progress
New York’s **first-ever offshore wind farm** is prepped and ready to go. The #BuildingSouthFork team completed loadout this weekend of the first turbine’s tower, blades and nacelle. Sailaway soon! 🌊
Can't say it better than @NYOWA: "Today’s announcement, awarding three contracts for more than 4 GW of OSW generation, shows that New York is prepared to double down on this clean, renewable and job creating resource.: Kudos & TY for your leadership @GovKathyHochul and @NYSERDA
Paulsboro, NJ once had three refineries that brought thousands of jobs to the area, but as those jobs were cut back, workers needed a new opportunity. With EEW’s new offshore wind monopile plant, good-paying jobs and economic benefits are coming back.
Can't thank @DepSecBeaudreau enough for his long time advocacy of offshore wind within Interior and for his leadership to accelerate deployment of one of our most important clean energy resources. A true clean energy champion.
Thank you, @DepSecBeaudreau, for your years of service. At @Interior and across the offshore wind community, we’ve been lucky to have you as an offshore wind champion!

Multi-state collaboration is hard, but critically important to offshore wind's buildout in the United States. Congrats to @MassGovernor@GovDanMcKee and @GovNedLamont for your leadership.
In New England, we work best when we work together.
I’m proud to announce with @GovDanMcKee and @GovNedLamont a first-in-the-nation multi-state agreement to deliver affordable offshore wind to our region and create cleaner, healthier communities across New England.
@Seb_010101@ClimateDefiance Yes, and the irony is that Deputy Secretary Beaudreau is leading critical efforts to scale some of the largest climate solutions.
Kudos to @NYSERDA. The agency's PSC filing and independent consultant analysis is an important, transparent step for NY renewable energy. It also provides tremendous value to those seeking to understand the impact of inflation and interest rates on renewable energy projects.
In response to the @timesunion editorial “Itemizing the green energy bill,” I felt it was important to directly address statements questioning the transparency of @NYSERDA's work in advancing clean energy. Read my full letter in this post or online here: https://t.co/zmaEcwmXuD
Congrats to @BOEM & @Interior for their offshore wind lease auction in the Gulf of Mexico today! Bringing offshore renewables to an additional region & doing so with robust stipulations to bring good jobs and ensure strong engagement and domestic supply chain development!
I'm proud of the hard work being done by @BOEM and across @Interior to deliver on our promises to advance a clean energy economy that will lower energy costs for families and create good-paying jobs as we help tackle the climate crisis.
The fourth commercial scale offshore wind farm is fully approved! With construction milestones at Vineyard Wind 1 and South Fork Wind, federal permitting and leasing milestones and new state market activity -- U.S. offshore wind energy is making significant progress!
Did you see the good news?
@BOEM just approved the Revolution Wind project, which will create 1,500+ good-paying jobs and power hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in RI and CT with clean offshore wind energy.
Thanks to all who've championed this project!
We have one of the best offshore wind resources in the world.
Now is the time for bold, strategic actions to expand offshore wind power while maximizing its ability to reduce pollution, create jobs, & benefit communities.

Take it from @POTUS, our win on offshore wind is a "big, big deal". From good-paying union jobs to reliable clean power, Maine's unions are leading the way on climate.
So excited to see Maine's strong commitment to offshore wind -- and to high quality jobs and the investments that will make the industry thrive. #thefutureisfloating!
Thankful to the diverse great coalition of leaders who helped make this possible.
Offshore wind is coming to Maine — and with it will come high-quality jobs, clean energy, port investments, and more!
