Overview:
The Biden administration’s goal to fully decarbonize the U.S. economy further drives various activities that will likely pose supportive policies and major clean energy projects. Several agencies are currently working together to build up offshore wind that can offer high-quality jobs while delivering affordable and carbon pollution-free electricity across the country. These activities also spur interest in clean energy technology improvements and investments.
Practitioners and other businesses concerned should be wary of all developments in this area to ensure regulatory compliance and avoid legal issues, particularly in implementing environmental, health, and safety protocols.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and distinguished professionals organized by The Knowledge Group as they provide a comprehensive discussion of the latest trends and developments in the offshore wind energy industry. Speakers, among other things, will offer practical tips and compliance strategies in this rapidly evolving sector.
Key topics include:
- U.S. Offshore Wind Energy Industry: Trends and Developments
- Legal Challenges for Offshore Wind Development
- Environmental Concerns and Compliance Issues
- Strategies to Maximize Opportunities and Reduce Litigation Risks
- What Lies Ahead
