Offshore Wind

We play a leading role in the emergence of this new industry.
Invest in new horizons

New opportunities, new ventures in wind

The U.S. offshore wind industry is set to deliver significant economic benefits, according to the U.S. Offshore Wind Power Economic Impact Assessment report, released by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). In addition to providing clean, affordable, and reliable power, offshore wind is an abundant clean energy solution and economic driver for coastal areas where there is a greater population and demand for energy. It's estimated that developing 30 GW of offshore wind along the east coast could support up to 83,000 jobs.

Our experience runs deep

EDF power solutions has strong experience in wind generation—taking advantage of the company's global offshore project expertise and our deep history in onshore projects in North America—to guarantee an optimal level of operation for our wind facilities. With four offshore wind projects in France, one in Belgium, two in the United Kingdom and one in Denmark, we have proven our technical skills in marine engineering through successfully installing fixed-bottom, monopile, jacket, and gravity based foundations.

Harnessing offshore wind resources presents an enormous opportunity to:

Create tens of thousands of highly skilled jobs
Revitalize coastal communities
Deliver large amounts of clean, reliable energy to the country’s biggest population centers
