Environmental Business Council of New England

Equinor Wind US, Ørsted, Mayflower Wind, and Vineyard Wind are each advancing their offshore wind development projects in the Northeast. The states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island have all awarded long term power contracts for four offshore wind projects, Vineyard Wind 1, Park City Wind, Mayflower Wind and Revolution Wind.

For this EBC program, representatives of each of these developers have been invited to speak at the EBC’s Seventh Annual Offshore Wind Conference.

Come hear the developers and their stakeholders, including federal and state officials, that are engaged in procurements and regulatory reviews of these projects, ports, environmental, and fisheries. There will be a discussion of their vision for the responsible growth of offshore wind in the U.S. while addressing the cultural, economic, environmental and survival interests of those who share the sea.

General Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (3.5 training contact hours). Please select this option during registration if you wish to receive a certificate.
