The Offshore Wind Podcast from GWEC
Welcome to the Offshore Wind Podcast, hosted by Stewart Mullin, GWEC's Chief Industry Officer, and Rebecca Williams, GWEC's Chief Strategy Officer - Offshore Wind.
Offshore wind is one of the world's fastest growing energy sources.
Many nations are embracing offshore wind as a key tool to deliver on net zero and sustainability targets, while building clean industries that drive economic growth.
Turbines are bigger and more powerful than ever, the supply chain is developing in every region and new markets are opening up thanks to action-focused policy developments that build on political ambition.
The rise of floating offshore wind, increasing interest in power-to-x and green hydrogen solutions are creating the basis for offshore wind to propel the global energy transition forwards.
The Offshore Wind Podcast, from the Global Wind Energy Council, looks at the issues facing the offshore wind industry today and tomorrow.
The Offshore Wind Podcast from GWEC
How can the US reach 30GW by 2030? Leasing, infrastructure, regional collaboration, and more!
The Biden Administration recently set a national target of 30 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030, a major push to demonstrate its renewed climate and renewable energy ambitions. According to the Government, this would create 77,000 new jobs, power 10 million homes, create $12 billion in capital investment, and cut 78 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions in the US. But how can the US reach 30 GW by 2030? In this episode, hosts Stewart Mullin and David Lenti are joined by Laura Morton, Senior Director, Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Offshore Wind at the American Clean Power Association, and Steven Dayney, Head of Offshore, North America at Siemens Gamesa, to discuss challenges and opportunities to put the US on-track to deliver 30 GW of offshore wind installations by 2030.
