Since it organized four years ago, the non-profit Business Network for Offshore Wind has been working to bring together U.S. companies and talent to build a new supply chain for offshore wind energy.
That includes the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry – the world’s oldest and deepest reservoir of offshore energy operating experience. Recently the network has been in New Orleans, reaching out to builders, vessel operators and anyone else who can help develop the dozen or so offshore turbine projects planned off the East Coast.
