Despite facing hurdles, the U.S. offshore wind industry continues to make progress. The Vineyard Wind project off Massachusetts is under investigation after a turbine blade failure, and a Gulf of Mexico lease auction has been canceled due to a lack of interest. Nevertheless, ambitious plans to expand the industry are moving forward, including the implementation of the first floating offshore wind research lease and California’s plan to procure 7.6 gigawatts (GW) of capacity.

New and expanded federal tax credits, along with funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Solar for All residential program, have set the stage for further growth in the community solar industry. Several states have taken action to establish or expand community solar programs. Also known as shared solar, community solar allows multiple energy customers to participate in projects that are remotely located and receive credits to lower their electricity bill.
Even as transportation electrification expands to medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, states across the U.S. are examining policies to harness the benefits of vehicle-to-grid functionality. The ability of electric vehicles (EVs) to inject…Read the full report …...
Even as transportation electrification expands to medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, states across the U.S. are examining policies to harness the benefits of vehicle-to-grid functionality. The ability of electric vehicles (EVs) to inject power from their batteries into the grid has the potential to optimize charging and mitigate grid impacts.

The Biden administration continues to advance policies and programs to catalyze offshore wind deployment to achieve the goal of deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035. States are also expediting offshore wind procurement efforts to align with ambitious deployment goals.
