Global Offshore Wind in the US - in partnership with Orrick

Over the course of three special interviews, we will take a trip around the globe to analyse the status of the offshore wind sector in three key regions; North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

In today’s interview, our guests will focus their discussion on the arrival of offshore wind to the North American market.

Lars Thaaning Pedersen, co-CEO of Copenhagen Offshore Partners, discusses the growth of US offshore wind in the first of our 2021 Global Offshore Wind series, in partnership with Orrick. He discusses:

• Growing momentum under President Biden
• Huge interest from the financial community
• Emergence of the US offshore supply chain
• COP’s plans for Europe and Asia-Pacific
