The offshore wind industry promises thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in investments and economic impact. New Hampshire is estimated to have 3.4 gigawatts of potential offshore wind power off our coasts and we also have the capacity to serve as an important part of the offshore wind supply chain. In December 2019, Governor Sununu passed an Executive Order preparing New Hampshire for future wind development and Senator David Watters (D-Dover) has filed legislation designed to help spur the development of offshore wind projects and other renewable energy in the region.
