On Veterans Day, OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA and our team honor all of the U.S. military veterans who have served our country. We recognize their courage and commitment, and we are deeply grateful for their service. We also recognize that veterans play a critical role in the domestic clean energy economy, which will help protect our national security and create economic growth across the country. According to the American Clean Power Association (ACP), more than 42,000 veterans work in the U.S. wind and solar industries, and the clean energy sector employs veterans at a higher rate than the national average. We are so proud to have many veterans on our OW NA team and thankful for the experience and dedication they bring each day as we work towards building a clean energy future for all. ?#ProudtobeOW #VeteransDay #CleanEnergy #OffshoreWind

The 2nd annual New Bedford Offshore Wind Conference hosted by the New Bedford Ocean Cluster was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry and community leaders, share insights and explore new, innovative ideas within the offshore wind sector. ?? Our Chief Operations Officer, Enrique Alvarez, delivered an insightful keynote reflecting on the results of the New England multi-state offshore wind procurement and shared lessons learned from his experience developing offshore wind farms around the world. ?? Jonathan Salzman, our Supply Chain Manager, contributed to a productive panel focused on supply chain dynamics, sharing valuable perspectives and key challenges to building a robust, local offshore wind supply chain. The investments being made in the Port of New Bedford and surrounding region will continue to build a firm foundation for the US offshore wind industry. We are so proud to call the South Coast of New England home — thank you to the NBOC and all the participants for a successful event! ?? #offshorewind #renewableenergy #proudtobelocal

School is back in full swing, and we are excited to ramp up our #STEM education and youth outreach again! STEM education helps students become better problem solvers, critical thinkers, and spark creativity and curiosity about the world around them. ?? To inspire the next generation of energy engineers, we deploy hands-on activities that allow students to learn about #offshorewind energy in an engaging way. With our turbine design activity, students can put themselves in the role of an offshore wind engineer and are challenged with building turbine platforms using an assortment of recycled materials. Check out this video from our partner US Sailing that captures local students in action as they build and explain their turbine designs: https://lnkd.in/emPEZ2At

Failure to invest in clean energy comes at a tremendous cost to our most vulnerable residents. Our respected friend and colleague, Dr. Mark Mitchell shared thoughts on Connecticut’s recent inaction on offshore wind and what it means for environmental justice communities.? “I am hopeful that Connecticut’s announcement will be coming soon, and Governor Lamont joins the fray. If not, I am afraid that this will become another environmental justice nightmare." Read the full Op-ed here ?? https://lnkd.in/eZd9zkZn #offshorewind
