Information on U.S. OSW Standards
The U.S. Offshore Wind Standards initiative is underway, a collaboration between the Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the Business Network for Offshore Wind, and the American Wind Energy Association.

The anticipated outcome will be a new suite of consensus-based offshore wind standards and guidelines that will clarify the requirements for developers and original equipment manufacturers in U.S. waters and allow U.S. regulators to adopt best industry practices. For background information visit the AWEA Offshore Wind Subcommittee Workspace.

You are invited to join and participate in one of the five working groups to discuss the next steps in the development of the offshore wind standards project and begin the drafting process for the recommended practice. Please indicate which working group meeting you will attend when you register (you may only select one).

The Scope of Work for the working groups are posted publicly along with meeting minutes to date on the Offshore Wind Standards Subcommittee page on the AWEA Workspace.
