Patrick Gilman from the U.S. Department of Energy will moderate, and the following speakers will discuss recent developments in the economics of offshore wind:

  • Bruce Hamilton, Navigant: Offshore Wind Market Report. This presentation will summarize the third annual assessment of the U.S. offshore wind market, which includes developments in the offshore wind technology sector and the global development of offshore wind projects; analysis of policy developments at the federal and state levels; analysis of actual and projected economic impact; and analysis of developments in relevant sectors of the economy.
  • Patrick Fullenkamp, Global Wind Network: U.S. Wind Energy Manufacturing and Supply Chain. This presentation will summarize an effort to develop a greater understanding of the key factors determining wind energy component manufacturing costs and pricing on a global basis to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers and to reduce installed systems cost.
  • Suzanne Tegen, NREL: Offshore Wind Jobs and Economic Development Impact: Four Regional Scenarios. This presentation will cover analysis results of potential deployment in the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Southeast regions of the United States based on NREL’s offshore wind Jobs and Economic Development Impacts (JEDI) model for monopile foundations. Based on regional, project-specific data or default inputs, JEDI models estimate the number of jobs and other economic impacts to a local area (in this case, a region) that could be supported by a new power plant, like an offshore wind facility.
