There’s a lot to love when it comes to Virginia offshore wind development.
-
There’s the potential to develop 5300 MW of offshore wind off our coast - enough to power over 1.5 million homes

There’s the potential to create over 14,000 great jobs with full build out of the offshore wind industry in Virginia
-
It’s the only way (and in a big way) that we meet our Virginia 100% clean energy goals
