Groton, Connecticut – The Connecticut Wind Collaborative (CWC) today released the nation’s first regional offshore wind supply chain study, “Connecticut Offshore Wind Supply Chain Assessment: Opportunities and Collaborative Efforts in the Northeast.”

Initiated by the Wind Collaborative and produced by Xodus Group, the report shows Connecticut businesses are an integral part of the offshore wind energy industry, and that the region has hundreds more businesses with the potential to benefit from growth in the sector. The assessment also outlines steps decision makers can take to attract more offshore wind jobs and investment in the area.

“This report proves what we have been seeing for a long time; Connecticut businesses are an important link in the offshore wind supply chain and that translates into business growth and more jobs,” said Kristin Urbach, executive director of the Connecticut Wind Collaborative. “We are committed to working with our partners to implement the study’s recommendations, ensuring that Connecticut and the region capitalize on this tremendous opportunity and achieve our clean energy goals.”
