Offshore Wind Community Benefit Assessment

Oregon Consensus was asked by a state senator to assess whether the timing was right for Oregon Consensus to facilitate a stakeholder collaboration specifically to craft guidelines around a community benefit agreement tied to possible offshore wind development off of Oregon’s south coast. Oregon Consensus found that the conditions and timing were not right for such an effort. The assessment uncovered common themes around important community benefits as well as important disputes around the location of proposed offshore wind.
