Meeting America’s growing energy needs requires building more energy infrastructure, not creating new uncertainty around projects already under construction.
Offshore wind projects are years in the making and play an important role in strengthening the grid and supporting regional energy needs. As Turn Forward Executive Director Hillary Bright noted to @Bloomberg, electricity planners and consumers are counting on these projects to come online as expected.

Higher energy bills are a reminder that affordability and reliability go hand in hand.
America needs to build more energy. Offshore wind is one way to add domestic power to the grid and help meet growing demand.

Winter is coming, and so are the energy challenges that come with it.
When the grid relies too heavily on a single fuel source, like natural gas, consumers face greater exposure to price spikes and reliability risks. Offshore wind adds another source of homegrown energy to the mix, strengthening reliability and delivering the power homes and businesses need this winter.

Rising electricity costs are a growing concern across the Northeast.
A new analysis finds that offshore wind is a key part of the lowest-cost path to meeting future energy demand while reducing exposure to volatile natural gas prices.

Energy demand isn’t slowing down.
As Americans face rising costs, we must build more of what works. Offshore wind can provide affordable, reliable electricity with strengthening grid resilience and meeting growing demand.
If want energy to remain affordable, we must prioritize an everything-that-works strategy.

The cost of canceling offshore wind goes beyond lost energy production.
A new report from @taxpayers explores the financial implications of offshore wind lease buyouts and what they could mean for taxpayers.
With power demand rising and major energy projects already under construction, stopping progress comes with a significant price tag.

The demand for energy isn’t slowing down, and America needs every available tool available to meet it.
Offshore wind can help deliver reliable, domestic power at scale while strengthening our energy mix for the future.

For years, offshore wind opponents have argued that turbines pose a threat to national security. But retired military leaders who have spent their careers thinking about these issues see it differently.
In a new blog, we break down why former Air Force, Navy, and Army officers are making the case that offshore wind strengthens American energy security, supports military readiness, and represents critical infrastructure for the future.

New research from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago found that 84% of Americans are concerned about the impact of data centers on local electricity prices.
To meet the rising demand, and keep electricity affordable for American families and businesses, we must build the energy resources and grid infrastructure needed for reliable, affordable power.

All 65 turbines are now installed at Revolution Wind. The 704MW project will power 350,000+ homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut, a major addition to the New England grid as electricity demand continues to grow. Full statement: turnforward.org/turn-forward…
New research from Moody’s underscores a simple reality: America’s growing power needs can’t be met by any single energy source.
Offshore wind must be part of an all-of-the-above strategy to deliver the reliable electricity our economy demands.

"We've got to find a lot of electrons, and they've got to get along." - Hillary Bright of @TurnForwardWind on the Powering What's Next panel happening right now.
Tune in to the conversations happening now! nationalcleanenergyweek.org #NCEW26
What happens when offshore wind turbines become part of the marine environment?
During the 2026 Block Island Inshore Fishing Tournament, anglers got a firsthand look at the artificial reef effect developing around turbine foundations.
From a brief whale sighting on the way out to catching black sea bass right by the turbines, Turn Forward’s Erin McLean shares what she observed on the water and why seeing offshore wind up close can change perspectives. Read it here: turnforward.org/fishing-turb…
The East Coast’s growing energy needs require an everything-that-works approach.
By generating power close to major population centers, offshore wind can help strengthen grid reliability, diversify energy supplies, and support energy security.

Energy security is national security.
As energy demand grows and threats to critical infrastructure evolve, strengthening our energy security must be a top priority.
Offshore wind helps by enhancing reliability, supporting economic stability, and bolstering national preparedness.

NCEW is excited to announce Hillary Bright, Executive Director of @TurnForwardWind, as a speaker at the 10th annual Policymakers Symposium!
Bright brings 17 years of experience at the intersection of energy, climate and policy, leading bipartisan efforts to advance offshore wind in the United States. Bright will join the “Powering What's Next: Innovation, Deployment and Building the Grid of the Future” panel on day one, discussing what it takes to bring new energy technologies to market fast enough to meet demand.

Demand on East Coast grids isn’t slowing down.
As energy needs grow, offshore wind can help strengthen reliability by generating power close to where it’s needed most.
Our Executive Director Hillary Bright explains ⬇️ in Grist: grist.org/energy/offshore-wi…
What happens below an offshore wind turbine? More fishing opportunities and stronger coastal economies.
Below the surface, turbine foundations become artificial reefs teeming with marine life. Research on offshore wind structures found they can produce more new fish biomass than coral reefs, kelp forests, or bare sandy seafloors.
