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.
