Tethys Wind

Offshore Wind Farm at Sunset

Tethys supports the wind community by facilitating the knowledge sharing needed to advance wind energy development in an environmentally responsible manner. Tethys has been developed to provide researchers, regulators, project developers, and other stakeholders with information and research findings that can support siting, permitting processes, management decisions, and operational strategies while minimizing risk to the environment.
