Mayflower Wind is to host an online ‘open house’ event on 18 May to bring interested parties the latest news on its plans to build an 804MW offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts in the US.
The event will run from 6.30pm until 7.30pm EDT on Zoom.
Presentations will be given by Mayflower Wind director of external affairs Seth Kaplan, external outreach manager Christopher Hardy, community liaison officer Kelsey Perry and fisheries liaison officer Joel Southall.
Items on the agenda include: the need and opportunity for offshore wind to fulfil Massachusetts’ net-zero carbon emissions goals; plans for making Massachusetts an offshore wind hub through investments in ports and supporting infrastructure, workforce development, innovative technologies, and applied research; and an update on onshore electrical infrastructure plans.
There will also be news of interactions with fisheries and marine users and the next steps in the permitting and review process.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentations.
