Beating into headwinds but sailing on with support from U.S. federal and state policymakers, the offshore wind industry presented a snapshot of its current state at the US Offshore Wind 2023 conference held in July in Boston. As the conference opened, wind advocates sounded upbeat tones. Jim Kendall, the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) Gulf of Mexico regional office, said he wanted people to note how Shell was supporting the conference, which he said sends a huge message about energy industry support for wind. According to Alicia Calero, regulatory compliance program manager, Avangrid Renewables, there are a lot of similarities between oil and gas, and offshore wind. The wind industry is building on things that worked and didn't work - especially with the safety practices available for offshore wind. |
