The Impact of the Offshore Wind Industry on Maryland’s Ports

Earlier this year, Maryland’s PSC approved two offshore wind projects. These projects, valued at more than $2 billion will be the largest offshore wind farms in the country and will put Maryland into the center of the domestic offshore wind industry. At this session attendees will learn about the many opportunities surrounding this program – which in addition to saving thousands of pounds of CO2 emissions, is estimated to create more than 5,000 jobs and countless business opportunities.
