9:30amPanel 1: New Jersey State Government Resources to Support Offshore Wind 
The promise of offshore wind was left to lay fallow for most of the last decade. But since the early days of the Murphy Administration, the industry has been turbocharged, from expanding goals to 7,500 MW by 2035, to now a third solicitation, to investment in offshore wind. What are the steps forward in the Murphy Administration on offshore wind, especially with the Biden Administration’s goal of 30 GW by 2030 , and what challenges still lie ahead?

Building a regional supply chain for offshore wind manufacturing is key to ensuring quality, long-term jobs in wind.
