To understand the outlook for offshore wind in the United States, host Bill Loveless speaks with Jeff Grybowski, CEO of Deepwater Wind, on a new episode of the Columbia Energy Exchange. Deepwater Wind is the developer of America's first offshore wind project, the Block Island Wind Farm.
Among many topics Jeff and Bill discuss, several include: the status of the Block Island Wind Farm as it approaches its first anniversary; recent policies in New York, Massachusetts and other states that promote offshore wind energy in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic; the convergence of policy and market incentives that is attracting developers from around the world; and whether developers will need a federal investment credit once it expires in 2019.
