Windpower Engineering & Development magazine recently featured an article written by Tershara Matthews, offshore wind policy lead at WSP in the U.S., about overcoming hurdles that remain to progress offshore wind developments.
Matthews discusses innovations to combine offshore wind with other forms of renewable energy, such as solar and hydrogen, along with recommendations to advance progress, including:
- advantages of offshore wind power, compared to land-based projects;
- transmitting power to shore;
- navigating regulatory environments; and
- impactful stakeholder engagement.
“From a slow start, offshore wind power in the United States has a bright future,” Matthews wrote. “Much of the country’s population and power markets are along the coast, so having renewable energy sources located just a few miles offshore will help power a more renewable future.”
