Bluepoint Wind

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

Our External Affairs team recently stopped by SouthWardEA SWEA in Newark, New Jersey to attend the recognition ceremony for the first cohort of their Green Alliance Leadership Academy (GALA). ?? SWEA, a leading environmental justice organization in Northern NJ, launched the Passport to Green Jobs and Careers workforce development program this past September with plans to conduct a total of 4 cohorts until early 2026. The GALA fellows?will learn about environmental leadership, air and water quality, #greenjobs, civic engagement around sustainability, and so much more. Bluepoint Wind was honored to be invited to teach the #offshorewind portion of the training. ? Our team delivered a presentation on offshore wind construction and operations, and also drew the connection between #cleanenergy and environmental justice.?We also looked at the types of #careers and training needed to join our industry. Bluepoint Wind is proud to invest our time and resources to support the tremendously impactful work of community-based organizations like SWEA. ?? We look forward to working with additional organizations in the region to build an inclusive and diverse offshore wind workforce.

That’s a wrap on #ACPoffshore24! ??

Thank you to the American Clean Power Association (ACP) team and to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about our U.S. projects. It was an honor to be a Presenting Sponsor of the conference and to have our OW NA speakers share their valuable insights and reflections on the industry with conference attendees. ?? This event highlighted the growth and momentum of the U.S. offshore wind sector, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s Offshore WINDPOWER in Boston! #proudtobeOW #ACPoffshore24 #renewableenergy

Another American Clean Power Association (ACP)?Offshore WINDPOWER?has blown by????and what a time it was! Our Bluepoint Wind team was delighted to be united with our OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA colleagues in?#AtlanticCity?and take part in exhibiting on the expo floor. We also got a chance to hear from notable industry experts including our own OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA leaders, who took the stage to talk????about about the state of the industry. The excitement didn’t stop there... ? ??We connected with suppliers and more than 350 attendees at New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) & NYSERDA’s Offshore Wind Supplier Forum that happened alongside the conference. ? ??The team later joined our friends KidWind Project, Inc. whom we supported to bring educators from across the region for a day at the conference. Teachers????????had the opportunity to learn about offshore wind, careers in wind energy, and spend the time learning directly from industry at panel sessions or on the expo floor. ? We always enjoy ACP Offshore WINDPOWER for the wealth of connections we make, and this year was no different. See you in Boston for ACP offshore WINDPOWER 2025! ? #NYNJ?#ACPOffshore24 #CleanEnergy

This time last week our Bluepoint Wind team travelled down the Jersey coast to Atlantic City for the 7th annual Time for Turbines. Bluepoint Wind is pleased to have been a sponsor of this year’s conference and prior years’. Our project’s CEO, John Dempsey, also joined a panel of fellow offshore wind NY Bight lessees to discuss the future of wind energy in the #GardenState. It was great to hear from such a diversity of stakeholders from state leaders, including NJ first lady Tammy Murphy, to organized labor, environmental justice leaders, and local suppliers, on their hopes for the future development of the industry. It’s an exciting time to be a part of offshore wind as we lay the groundwork for New Jersey’s clean energy future. Thank you to #JerseyRenews for another stellar conference!
