FERC Offshore Wind Integration Technical Conference
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will discuss whether current frameworks for transmission, interconnection, and merchant transmission facilities can support the growth in offshore wind generation while protecting open access transmission principles. The agency will also consider possible modifications or enhancements to the existing framework to accommodate the growth. U.S. states have collectively committed to procure more than 29 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2035. Northeast states are advancing new offshore wind solicitations and port infrastructure investments to achieve their clean energy goals. AD20-18-000
