The Offshore Wind Working Group presented its Report to Governor Carney on June 29, 2018. The Group’s December 15, 2017, memorandum to the Governor is incorporated into the final report.
On August 28, 2017, Governor John Carney signed Executive Order 13, establishing the Offshore Wind Power Working Group. The Working Group was asked to:
In a statement, Governor Carney said that looking into alternative energy is “the right decision for our environment,” and that “the development of new sources of energy is also good for our economy, and for the creation of good-paying jobs.”
