The offshore wind sector is growing at a rapid pace not only in US but around the world. In 2021, Biden administration announced a target of 30GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. Several offshore wind projects are already in operation on the East coast of US and many more are in the planning and design stages. New technologies in offshore wind generation area are being developed and deployed and the challenges of integrating offshore wind into the electric utility system are being addresses across utilities in US and worldwide. It is important to share the best practices and policies adopted by utilities around the world for successful offshore wind integration.
