AB - What you should know:Offshore wind development in the U.S. has the potential to create tens of thousands of new jobs as the local supply chain and support infrastructure are constructed. Many of the jobs associated with the construction and operations stages of offshore wind development require skilled labor and typically use project labor agreements to secure the participation of trade unions. Jobs in the earlier stage of project planning and development include professional services such as engineering, surveying, and permitting. Labor services are also needed to construct the ports and onshore infrastructure needed to build the wind farms. The jobs and investment associated with offshore wind development will help grow local economies. Further, the processes associated with lease area auctions or energy procurement often include requirements or mechanisms that support investment in local and disadvantaged communities.
