Dedicated to advancing an ambitious vision for American offshore wind power that meets today’s climate, economic, equity and environmental challenges.
Joined September 2022
With American innovation at work, offshore wind is an opportunity to strengthen the U.S. energy sector, make sure we have more domestic power, and meet growing energy demand – all while revitalizing other American industries and creating good-paying jobs along the way.
With a projected $44.8 billion in economic impact, Vineyard Offshore’s #offshorewind portfolio represents a huge opportunity for growth in the U.S. energy sector. Together, we’re building up an industry and empowering communities! 🌍💡 #Innovation

The domestic offshore wind industry is already supporting working families across the country, including construction workers, manufacturers, and shipbuilders. Investments into American offshore wind are investments into American workers.
In partnership with Springline Research Group, we created a predictive model utilizing Vineyard Wind 1 data to estimate the economic impact of our entire #offshorewind portfolio. We have the potential to support 14,750 full-time equivalent jobs! #JobCreation #Sustainability

Ports are a critical part of the offshore wind supply chain. Upgrading American port infrastructure is important for all kinds of marine industries, including for the offshore wind industry that will provide reliable power to our homes.
Representatives from the @CAStateLands and the ports of @portoflongbeach and @HBHarbor ceremonially signed a MOU during the State of the Port, securing an agreement to collaborate on critical port infrastructure upgrades needed to support offshore wind projects statewide.
