National Clean Energy Week: Offshore Wind Is Paving The Way For A Clean Energy Future
By Virginians for Offshore Wind

Today marks the beginning of National Clean Energy Week. This week is about celebrating the advancements of the clean energy sector and its economic and environmental benefits.

Having a diverse, clean energy portfolio is critical to the creating a sustainable future, reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment, and offshore wind plays a key role.

https://virginiaosw.org/
The United States has always been at the forefront of innovation, and by continually tapping into that spirit of innovation and leveraging clean energy technologies – including offshore wind – the Commonwealth of Virginia is positioned to serve as a leader in the renewable energy industry for years to come.

While the offshore wind industry is still relatively new, Virginia has already elevated itself through the construction of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project. By utilizing wind power, the CVOW project is expected to produce more than 8 million megawatts of clean energy, which will help reduce nearly 5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

The project will also provide power to approximately 660,000 Virginia households, promoting renewable energy's successes and a cleaner future. Upon its completion, the CVOW project will serve as an essential resource for sustainable, clean energy for the entire Commonwealth.

Beyond the environmental benefits, offshore wind also fosters substantial economic benefits for the Commonwealth. Renewable energy is revolutionizing state and local economies as Virginia emerges as the East Coast hub for offshore wind. This development is luring new businesses, creating new job opportunities, and driving more economic growth. Offshore wind advancement and clean energy innovations truly are transforming our future and are critical to creating a long-lasting positive impact.

As we celebrate the many achievements made during National Clean Energy Week, we know that there is more work to be done. By continuing to advance offshore wind initiatives, we can help lay the groundwork needed to achieve a clean energy future.

Virginians for Offshore Wind is dedicated to promoting offshore wind in Virginia, including the clean energy transformation and economic opportunities that come with it.

We are so grateful to represent the City of Suffolk, Virginia. In addition to being able to work with the amazing City staff, we also get to hang out with the best legislative liaison team in Virginia.

Last week, we had a great time hosting our Hampton Roads “family” for a holiday happy hour and white elephant gift exchange… and got to try my hand at butter boards. Initial reviews were positive. 😁

Lots of fellowship, holiday greetings and laughs. We love you team Hampton Roads!

Exciting announcement today for Access Point client, Dominion Energy, the City of Portsmouth, the Hampton Roads region and the Commonwealth. Access Point directly supports outreach and communications efforts for Dominion’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, which will generate enough clean, sustainable energy to power up to 660,000 homes at peak and avoid as much as 5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually once completed. This announcement marks a major milestone in the development of Virginia’s first offshore wind project – and the second active offshore wind project in the country. We’re proud to be a part of the team that’s helping to ensure this project is a success.

Allan Myers started the idea as a $15,000 dollar for dollar match. A total of just over $40,000 was raised and split between NVFS and ACTS for our food programs.

"Going from empty shelves to full shelves (and pallets of food to spare) doesn't normally happen overnight, but the Allan Meyers Challenge coordinated by the Prince William Chamber of Commerce was the exception that proved the rule. The over $20,000 raised was put to good use immediately, and we are now in a much better position to assist our neighbors. Thank you." ~ Steven Liga, ACTS CEO
