Project overview:
30GW by 2030: Supply Chain Roadmap for Offshore Wind in the US
Awardee:
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
Start Date:
Q4, 2020
Technical Challenge Area:
Supply and Logistics
Completion Date:
Q1, 2020
Synopsis:
In this study, NREL and the Business Network for Offshore Wind created a roadmap that identified challenges and solutions to developing a nationally focused offshore wind energy supply chain that has the potential to manufacture all major components domestically by 2030.
Target Outcomes:
1
Project researchers developed 2 reports that comprise a road map of suggested short-, medium-, and long-term actions to overcome barriers to development and create a resilient, equitable, and comprehensive offshore wind energy supply chain.
2
The first report highlights the top-level demand for deployment, components, ports, vessels, and workforce required to achieve the national offshore wind target of 30 GW of capacity.
3
The second report builds on the high-level demand information from the first report and presents challenges that could delay supply chain growth, potential solutions to these challenges, and other major factors critical to a resilient supply chain.
