The U.S. Department of Energy estimates 43,000 new jobs will be created in the offshore wind market by 2030. The East Coast, and particularly, the Northeast, is poised to benefit from this growing industry. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center has published an assessment of jobs and economic impacts associated with the development of 1,600 megawatts in Massachusetts.

Companies are making progress to make offshore wind a true reality as a vital power source for our area.
