Meeting the US offshore wind target of 30 GW installed capacity by 2030 will present significant supply chain opportunities. For example, new port upgrade investments could total more than $500 million and new US factories could be built for major wind farm components. There could be an additional cumulative demand of more than seven million tons of steel, equivalent to four years of output for a typical US steel mill and there will be construction of specialized wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) in US shipyards. The construction of the Charybdis WTIV is an important step towards building a supply chain for the US offshore wind industry.
