The Benefit and Urgency of Planned Offshore Transmission: Reducing the Costs of and Barriers to Achieving U.S. Clean Energy Goals

The report emphasizes that immediate proactive planning for long-term offshore wind transmission in the U.S. is necessary to avoid foreclosing effective grid development pathways and to realize significant economic and environmental benefits.

• Proactive planning for long-term offshore wind generation needs is projected to save U.S. consumers a minimum of $20 billion and decrease environmental and community impacts by 50%.
