Virginia Offshore Wind Conference 2011 detail page

With Federal government commitments to fast-tracking the process and partnerships launched between one of the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturers (Gamesa) and largest ship-builders (Northrop Grumman), Virginia is well on its way to becoming the East Coast capital for wind energy. With plentiful offshore winds, a deep water port and a skilled and experienced labor force supporting the potential creation of over 10,000 jobs, the opportunity is ripe for Virginia if it plays its cards right.
The Virginia Offshore Wind Conference features over 60 panelists ultimately tasked with fleshing out the barriers and issues involved with developing the Commonwealth’s offshore wind resources. This “working” conference will also provide opportunities for industry leaders, stakeholders and policy-makers to meet face-to-face and together craft action plans for getting steel in the ground ASAP.
