<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Considered by many to be a banner year in the progress of offshore wind, 2021 saw 21,100 megawatts of offshore wind connection to the grid worldwide. That’s three times more than in 2020, setting an all-time record for the offshore wind industry.</span></p>

<p>And how does North America measure up as far as progress toward expanding offshore wind resources?  According to YaleEnvironment360, a publication of The Yale School of the Environment, developers are currently investing most heavily in the East Coast because of its reliable supply of wind and proximity to populous markets.</p>
<p>A 2016 report from the US Department of Energy found that under an aggressive development scenario, offshore wind could provide 14% of the electricity consumed in the US by 2050. Being able to achieve this goal would translate to a 1.8% reduction in US greenhouse gas emissions, and the decreases in ambient nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter would result in a savings of $2 billion in economic losses and healthcare costs.</p>
<p>So what are today’s biggest challenges to the growth of offshore wind resources in North America—and what’s next as look toward 2050?</p>
