About the Initiative

With adequate information and inclusive, proactive planning, California has an opportunity to not only maximize benefits and minimize potential harms from the nascent floating offshore wind (OSW) industry, but also to set a gold standard for OSW development domestically and beyond.

CLEE’s work supports stakeholder and community engagement in the offshore wind planning process and provides insight on some of the most challenging questions around offshore wind development in California.
