West Coast Offshore Wind Hub
In recognition of the potential benefits and challenges associated with the development of offshore wind energy on the West Coast of the US, the West Coast Offshore Wind Hub brings together a diverse group of members committed to sustainable and responsible energy solutions.
About the ‘Hub’
The Hub serves as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing, ensuring that offshore wind projects are developed in harmony with environmental and community priorities — and that each member of the Hub has the tools and information needed to advance their missions in this area.
Our goal is to collaboratively share information, resources, and best practices among member organizations to foster stronger connections and coordinated efforts as it relates to offshore wind policy development and community engagement across the West Coast.
Purpose
The Hub is designed to help members groups working in offshore wind have:
~ A diverse set of interested parties across a range of policy and community issues related to offshore wind development.
~ Alignment around how to approach issues from environmental impacts to Tribal engagement, workforce and supply chain issues across a wide range of stakeholder groups.
~ Regular updates, coordination and shared learning will benefit a coordinated approach to solving problems and build a strong, distinct Hub.
