There is a growing interest in the United States to have a more significant role in the development of offshore wind power. In the recent years, the country has begun to shift and drive towards a green economy, investing in clean renewables and technology that will be able to reduce carbon emissions. It is expected that offshore wind has the potential to become a primary source to supply energy to millions of Americans. In the next 10 years, the Biden administration has set a target to achieve close to 30 GW of offshore wind potential. With the existing offshore wind projects in place, many developers are continuing to make progress, but there are many limiting factors that could decide whether that goal will be achieved. A detailed analysis in the U.S. Atlantic Coast, was deemed necessary and light was shed to the licencing process towards the goal of 30 GW by 2030.
