There are nearly 65 gigawatts of offshore wind power under development in the U.S., enough to power more than 26 million homes, and some turbines are already running in several states, according to the American Clean Power Association.
Currently operating projects include the Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island, the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind pilot project and the South Fork Wind Farm, located approximately 35 miles east of Montauk Point on New York’s Long Island.
Trump is unlikely to end these projects, but he could have more influence over those still in the planning stages, say those in the debate.
Bob Stern, head of an office at the U.S. Energy Department responsible for environmental protection during the Ford, Carter and Reagan administrations, said Trump can get Congress to accept the offshore wind tax credits provided in the Inflation Reduction Act of the Biden administration, reduces or eliminates it. These credits form an integral part of the financing of many offshore wind projects.
Stern, leader of the anti-offshore wind group Save LBI of New Jersey, said Trump could also issue executive orders banning further offshore leases and rescinding approval of already approved leases, while pushing Congress to change federal laws that offer more protection to marine mammals.
The president-elect can also appoint leaders of agencies involved in the regulation of offshore wind energy who are hostile to or less supportive of it.
Opponents of offshore wind energy, including many Republicans, were giddy after the election, saying they fully expect Trump to put an end to the industry.
“I believe this is a tipping point for the offshore wind industry in America,” said Robin Shaffer, president of Protect Our Coast NJ, one of the most vocal groups opposing offshore wind on the East Coast. “They have been given a glide path for years by Democratic-led governments at the federal and state levels. For this sector, (Tuesday’s) results will bring much greater headwinds than before.”
But Tina Zappile, director of the Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University in New Jersey, noted that Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in 2018 expressed strong support for offshore wind energy. And even though the president-elect has destroyed the technology, she predicted he won’t just let it go away.
“Offshore wind energy may appear to be on the chopping block – Trump has explicitly said this was something he would fix on day one – but when the economics of offshore wind align with his overall strategies to return production to America and become energy independent, his government will likely slowly back away from this claim,” she said in an interview. “Offshore wind energy may be temporarily hampered, but it is unlikely to harm the long-term prospects in the US.”
Commercial fishermen in Maine said they hope the Trump administration will reverse policies intended to help build and approve offshore wind projects. They say regulators have tried to ‘future-proof’ the sector against political change. Jerry Leeman, CEO of the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association, called on Trump to reverse his pledge to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
The offshore wind industry is taking an optimistic stance and promising to work with Trump, his political allies. National and New Jersey wind industry groups, and several offshore wind developers including Atlantic Shores and Denmark-based Orsted, released similar statements emphasizing terms likely to appeal to Republicans, including job creation, economic development and national security.
“By combining the strengths of all domestic energy sources, the Trump administration can advance an economy that is vibrant, safe and clean,” Jason Grumet, CEO of the American Clean Power Association, said in a statement. “We are committed to working with the Trump-Vance administration and the new Congress to continue this great American success story.”
