Subject matter experts at the U.S. Department of Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's Offshore Wind and Maritime Industry Knowledge Exchange workshop will discuss the regulatory regime governing offshore wind energy development, including measures to minimize risk to safety and disruptions to maritime transportation operations while supporting the development of domestic renewable energy. Attendees will learn about the design and operation of offshore wind facilities, potential timelines for development on the Atlantic Ocean, and navigation safety issues associated with the transit of commercial vessels near wind farm facilities. Time will be set aside for interactive discussions between stakeholders. A workshop agenda will be available on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's website in the coming weeks. Contact the Office of Renewable Energy Programs at renewableenergy@boem.gov with any questions or comments about the event.
