"30 by '30" Target has Put U.S. Offshore Wind on the Map, Says DNV's Galinski

When the Biden Administration laid out its plan for 30 GW of offshore wind power by 2030, it “really put the offshore wind on the map,” said Galinski, in a recent interview with Maritime Reporter TV.

“The potential for development of clean energy using offshore wind was known for some time. The commitment we see from the federal government is encouraging.”

While multiple challenges remain, Galinski said finds strength in numbers.

“By mid-2020s, we'll see multiple commercial-scale projects coming online,” he said. “We must ensure that we leverage the experience from existing projects (both existing domestic) and other parts of the world, especially in Europe, to avoid delays and negative financial impact. It's up to the supply chain to react as a collective to ensure that the 30 by '30 targets are met, and it's encouraging to see this happening already at a good pace.”
