Offshore Wind

Offshore wind projects are still relatively new in the United States. However, offshore wind projects are now under development in wind-rich areas of the U.S. East Coast, Great Lakes, and Pacific coast. The U.S. Energy Department's Wind Vision quantified the benefits from up to 22 gigawatts of installed offshore wind by 2030 and 86 gigawatts by 2050. In fact, the Wind Vision scenarios show that by 2050, offshore wind could be available in all coastal regions nationwide.

These efforts are supported by the Nexans subsea group located in Goose Creek, South Carolina, where the complex, robust umbilical systems to bring the generated electricity to shore are manufactured and deployed.
