Meeting schedule/agenda:
This is the first meeting of the Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap Advisory Committee and will be a virtual meeting utilizing the Zoom platform (link below). The Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap will create an economic development plan for the offshore wind industry in Maine, by building on the state's record of planning, research and development, and innovation that stretches back over a decade. This work is supported by a $2.166 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to the Governors Energy Office (GEO) to develop the Roadmap as an initiative for growing Maines overall economy and improving Maines economic resilience, through targeted development of this global industry. The Offshore Wind Roadmap will be developed by an expert advisory committee and several working groups with broad public input, focusing on energy markets, ports and infrastructure, socioeconomic impacts, equity, manufacturing and supply chains, workforce development, and ocean and environmental compatibility. This effort will identify how to support the growing offshore wind sector in a way that embraces the opportunity, while ensuring compatibility with our Maine coastal heritage and minimizing the impacts on fisheries and environment. Meeting will run from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm.
