Microsoft Word - OSW Coalition Sign-On Letter to Obama Final 10-22-15.docx

The document is a sign-on letter from a broad coalition of organizations and officials requesting that the Obama administration prioritize offshore wind power development, specifically along the Atlantic coast. The coalition advocates for a bold development goal of 22 GW by 2030, increased federal incentives, and improved collaboration between federal agencies and state governments to support the Clean Power Plan.

• The Atlantic coast possesses an estimated 1,300 GW of energy generation potential, which could power 85 million American homes and reduce carbon pollution by an amount equivalent to removing over 100 million cars from the road.
• Seven federal Wind Energy Areas designated for offshore wind have the collective capacity to generate nearly 20 GW, which is sufficient to power more than 6 million average U.S. homes.
• The coalition requests that the administration set a development goal for the Atlantic of 22 GW by 2030, aligning with a scenario analyzed in the Department of Energy's 2015 Wind Vision report.
