Biden's Wind Farm Plan - Commentary from Hitachi Energy

Hitachi Energy's Anthony Allard, Head of North America, has some comments on how Biden's wind farm plan will impact the US power grid over the next several years, once they are built and brought online. Anthony also offers his thoughts about the scope of this project and what's needed to make Biden's goal achievable. 

Anthony Allard, Head of North America, Hitachi Energy:

"President Biden's proposal to develop seven major offshore wind farms on the East and West coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico is a significant step forward for our clean energy future. With the administration's plan to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030 and generate enough electricity to power more than 10 million homes, it's evident that offshore wind has the potential to provide clean, renewable energy to businesses and residences throughout the country, making this ambitious goal achievable. Investing in renewable energy and efforts to make our electric grids more flexible and resilient is imperative to deliver on the promise of a carbon-neutral future, slow the pace of climate change, and mitigate extreme weather events. To accomplish this goal will require the fundamentals in place: natural resources, decreasing costs, location, public and cooperative support, and government support."
