Offshore wind industry leaders will headline the sixth annual International Partnering Forum (IPF) in New York, US.
The IPF, organised by the Business Network for Offshore Wind, will feature presentations from US and global leaders including, Governor Phil Murphy, Governor of the State of New Jersey, Alicia Barton, chief executive officer, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, and Orsted North America president Thomas Brostrom.
Business Network for Offshore Wind president Liz Burdock said: “The IPF will bring together state, federal and international leaders with industry experts to harness the momentum of the US industry and push forward the establishment of a US offshore wind supply chain.
“Along the U.S. coastline lies a resource with the power to create clean energy, unparalleled jobs and economic growth. We are on the cusp of a booming offshore wind industry, with states along the eastern seaboard committing to large-scale offshore wind at an unprecedented rate.”
The conference, commencing 8 April 2019, which reNEWS is supporting as official digital daily partner, will feature educational programmes, exhibitors and networking opportunities.
Programming and workshops will cover critical issues facing the US offshore wind industry, including supply chain capacity, grid connectivity, big data and long-term outlooks for 100% renewable energy by 2045. More than a thousand attendees are expected at the largest IPF conference to date.
