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. Find out more about the Australian Hydrogen Market Study as mentioned in the episode: https://www.cefc.com.au/media/nhnhwlxu/australian-hydrogen-market-study.pdf

Welcome to the Offshore Wind Podcast, hosted by Stewart Mullin and David Lenti! Offshore wind is one of the world’s fastest growing energy sources, with strong year on year growth expected across the next few decades. Many nations are banking on offshore wind to play a major role in reaching their decarbonization and sustainability targets and helping their economies recover from the COVID-19 crisis. On the technology front, turbines are bigger and more powerful than ever, offshore wind farm capacity factors continue to rise and we are seeing a surge of interest from oil and gas giants seeking to transition their businesses away from fossil fuels, as well as increased competition from the developers who have championed offshore wind from day one.New markets in Asia, the Americas, and eventually Africa, accelerated growth in Europe, the rise of floating offshore wind and increasing interest in power-to-x solutions, are creating the basis for unprecedented growth in the industry. The offshore wind podcast series looks at the issues facing the offshore wind industry today, and opportunities for tomorrow.
