The Northwest Seaport Alliance Launches Study to Examine Offshore Wind Supply Chain Opportunities

The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) will be launching a feasibility study to evaluate business opportunities in the offshore wind supply chain. The study aims to assist the NWSA in positioning the gateway to support the burgeoning offshore wind (OSW) supply chain market. The Biden administration has set a goal of 30 gigawatts (GW) of power produced by offshore wind by 2030, and an ultimate goal of 110 GW by 2050. To meet the supply chain needs of current federal offshore wind goals, industry reports indicate that roughly 36 billion dollars will be needed in domestic port infrastructure development.
