About Us
We are leaders, educators, and partners advancing North Carolina’s offshore wind industry.
We are #OSW4NC.
#OSW4NC is an coalition of organizations working together to advance offshore wind in North Carolina. The coalition’s primary goal is to help North Carolina achieve a positive operating climate, state and federal policies, and regulatory certainty for sufficient quantities of this zero-carbon resource to be brought online in the coming decade and beyond.
Although the development timeframe for individual offshore wind projects is long, the operating environment, policies and regulatory framework established over the next two years will be critical to ensuring long-term growth of the industry.
2.8GW
by 2030
8.0GW
by 2040
The coalition advocates for policies and regulations necessary to achieve a just, equitable, and environmentally responsible adoption of North Carolina’s offshore wind energy targets of 2.8GW by 2030 and 8.0GW by 2040.
Three shared goals:
Establish supportive conditions for offshore wind in North Carolina’s regulated electric utility that maximize economic opportunity, including policy and regulation, manufacturing supply chain development, and associated infrastructure.
| 1.
Protect wildlife and enhance regulatory certainty by ensuring that the state properly balances offshore wind development with wildlife and environmental protection.
| 2.
Create a positive atmosphere for responsible offshore wind development in North Carolina through engagement with elected officials, affected stakeholders, and members of the public.
