The report \u201c2035 and Beyond: Abundant, Affordable Offshore Wind Can Accelerate Our Clean Electricity Future\u201d shows that over 4,000 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind potential is available along the U.S. coastline, including the Great Lakes, which could greatly complement our onshore resources such as solar and wind to help us achieve a 95% clean electricity grid by 2050 without substantially impacting wholesale electricity costs.With the right policy mix, offshore wind could supply between 10 to 25 percent of America\u2019s electricity demand by 2050.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, global carbon emissions must be halved by 2030 and reach near-zero by 2050. \u201c2035 and Beyond\u201d finds that increasing the offshore wind ambition, along with a significant increase in the solar and onshore wind resource deployment can achieve our net-zero emissions goals, while keeping the electricity prices affordable and the grid reliable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study is accompanied by<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a policy report <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from Energy Innovation, a non-partisan think tank, showing the policy pathway needed to realize offshore wind\u2019s potential as well as analysis on the supply chain and transmission needs and accompanying employment benefits.
