maine offshore wind supply chain

Maine joined the Federal-State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership to advance responsible offshore wind. The partnership has a working group focused on key factors to advance the domestic offshore wind supply chain, ports, and workforce. In September 2023, Maine signed a Memorandum of Understanding with four Federal agencies (U.S. Departments of Interior, Commerce, Energy, and Transportation) and eight other east coast states (CT, MA, NH, RI, MD, NJ, NY, and NC) to commit to regionally coordinated domestic offshore wind supply chain development. Maine is advancing partnerships with the participating northeast states.

The offshore wind supply chain will involve a range of companies of all sizes to deliver products and services for offshore wind projects during every phase of project development. These phases generally include siting and development, manufacturing, construction and installation, and operations and maintenance. Companies in Maine, with Maine-based employees, or considering being located in Maine that are interested in supplying components and services to offshore wind projects throughout the U.S. should contact the Maine International Trade Center.
