INSPIRE has been at the forefront of offshore wind development since the earliest U.S. projects, including Ørsted’s Block Island Wind Farm, and has supported more than half of all offshore wind developments in the United States.

This work introduces a framework called Nature Inclusive Offshore Wind Farms (NIOWFs) to describe how OW development fits into the New Blue Economy in the context of the U.S. East Coast.

Forward Scouting is an adaptive surveying technique designed to de-risk the cable routing selection process through a flexible survey design that is adjusted in situ as data are acquired and assessed against the overall project objectives.
