Offshore Wind Compliance Recommended Practice 1 -5 Briefing

It is critical that companies and organizations working in the U.S. offshore wind market understand the developing U.S. offshore wind compliance standards. Join the industry leaders of the National Offshore Wind Standards Initiative to learn about the developing national offshore wind recommend practices and the objectives of the initiative. There will also be an overview of the five guidance documents and their expected release dates. The five offshore wind recommended practice documents are 

  1. Offshore Compliance Recommended Practices (OCRP), Edition 2 (Approved)  
  2. U.S. Floating Wind Systems Recommended Practices  
  3. U.S. Offshore Wind Metocean Conditions Characterization  
  4. U.S. Recommended Practices for Geotechnical and Geophysical Investigations and Design  
  5. U.S. Recommended Practices for Submarine Cables  

These guidance documents will be ANSI approved, allowing the regulators to use them to review projects and clarify regulatory compliance. The documents consider the unique offshore conditions on the U.S. outer continental shelf (OCS) and state waterways (e.g., Great Lakes). They provide guidance for offshore wind projects, covering a range of project implementation activities, including project design, construction and deployment practices, operation, safety, and decommissioning, while anticipating the new and evolving nature of offshore wind technology.
