NOIA Welcomes Offshore Wind Supply Chain Contracting Forecast
Washington, D.C. –The National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) welcomes projected new business opportunities for offshore energy supply companies announced today by the Special Initiative on Offshore Wind (SIOW). Supply Chain Contracting Forecast for U.S. Offshore Wind Power, a white paper released today by SIOW, projects that America’s nascent offshore wind industry presents a nearly $70 billion CAPEX revenue opportunity to businesses in the offshore energy supply chain.
“NOIA has long advocated for all-of-the-above energy and new offshore energy growth in America. Our members look forward to participating in the massive opportunity presented by offshore wind. The report identifies significant opportunities for the supply chain that will build, supply and support the U.S. offshore wind sector. By putting in clear terms the anticipated demand for foundations, towers, cable and services, America’s energy supply and service companies can begin planning to enter this growing market. We're watching a new industry grow right here off our shores and NOIA’s members are excited to be a part of this energy future," said NOIA President Randall Luthi.
