Wind energy—both offshore and land-based—plays an especially important role in achieving a clean energy economy. This week, wind energy stakeholders and EERE leaders met at the Floating Offshore Wind Shot™ Summit for a deep dive into the future of wind power. Today, we are highlighting some of our recent wind-wins: 🌬️ GE Vernova has achieved a milestone by assembling the nacelle for the largest wind turbine ever built on U.S. soil at their newly expanded plant in Schenectady, NY: https://lnkd.in/e9_9iUiP 🌬️ The South Fork Wind offshore farm, jointly developed by Ørsted and Eversource Energy, in Rhode Island is powering 70k homes: https://lnkd.in/eWVuAZJK As we look to enter a new era of renewable power, harnessing the power of the wind plays a critical role. See how we are making it happen: https://lnkd.in/gk8ia-u #WindPower #CleanEnergyWins #OffshoreWind

Making clean energy technologies here at home is the fastest path to a clean energy future in the United States. That’s why we’re lighting the way to an energy efficient future through domestic solar manufacturing. 📢 This week, we announced a $70 million investment to research, develop, and demonstrate new technologies to harness solar energy more effectively. Visit https://lnkd.in/ePbqpmpJ to learn how these energy innovators are heating up solar power manufacturing and securing the clean energy supply chain, from solar power at farms to thin-film solar cells. #SolarEnergy #EnergyInnovators
