Homegrown power

Why harness the power of offshore wind energy?

Minimizing harmful energy production decreases pollution, leading to cleaner air and healthier water for our communities.

Investing in offshore wind creates good, local jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.

Cutting down on fossil fuel reliance helps address climate changes that fuel extreme weather.

U.S. offshore wind has the potential to generate nearly double the nation’s current electricity use, while helping governments at all levels improve the health of communities and the environment.

In 2030, 9,000 MW of offshore wind would reduce New England electricity customers’ bills by approximately $630 million annually under a mid-range gas price scenario but reaching $1.7 billion annually in a high gas price scenario.

How to take action

Offshore wind energy captures the natural power of ocean winds to generate clean, renewable electricity. This innovative solution not only reduces our reliance on fossil fuels but also creates jobs and supports local economies.

FAQ

Find answers to common questions about offshore wind energy and its benefits.

What is offshore wind?

Offshore wind energy harnesses the power of wind over the ocean. It generates clean, renewable energy that can power homes and businesses. This technology helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.

Is offshore wind reliable enough to help power our grid?

Yes, ocean winds are steadier and more consistent than land winds, making offshore wind a dependable source of energy to help meet demand.

What does offshore wind cost?

While the upfront costs are higher, the long-term savings are significant. Offshore wind energy has lower operational costs compared to fossil fuels. Additionally, it provides economic benefits through job creation and energy independence.

How does offshore wind energy benefit people like me?

Offshore wind energy reduces the pollution causing our planet to overheat. It supports local economies by creating jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. It also helps lower the air and water pollution created by the manufacturing and use of oil and gas.

Does offshore wind energy harm marine life or wildlife?

Careful planning and monitoring minimize impacts on marine life. Studies show that offshore wind projects can coexist with wildlife, providing habitats for some species. Responsible siting of wind projects paired with ongoing research ensures that environmental concerns are addressed.

How long does it take to build an offshore wind farm?

Offshore wind farms generally require 7–11 years to build, from planning to operation.

What can I do to support offshore wind?

You can help by signing our pledge to support offshore wind and fight misinformation. Sharing information on social media amplifies the message and encourages others to get involved. Donations help fund our advocacy efforts and spread awareness.

Who spreads misinformation, and why?

Some misinformation is pushed by fossil fuel interests aiming to protect their profits. We counteract that with accurate, science-backed facts and public education.

Is offshore wind safe?

Yes, offshore wind energy is safe for both workers and the environment. Rigorous safety standards are followed during construction and operation. Continuous monitoring ensures that safety remains a priority.

How will offshore wind help my community?

Offshore wind brings multiple gains: new jobs, lower carbon emissions, stronger energy security, innovation in renewables, and cleaner air and water.

Will offshore wind affect my electricity bill?

Offshore wind helps stabilize energy prices by reducing reliance on fossil fuels, keeping electricity costs more predictable. A Synapse Energy Economics Inc. study found that offshore wind is cheaper and healthier than natural gas. The tri-state offshore wind projects could save New Englanders nearly $630 million in electricity bills annually.
