At the request of representatives from the renewable energy sector, fishing industry, labor unions, environmental groups, and other interests, Oregon Consensus facilitated an informal work group to explore the impacts and benefits of offshore wind along Oregon’s coast. This work group has recommended that Oregon develop an “Offshore Wind Roadmap with Exit Ramps.” The Roadmap is intended to offer a comprehensive vision and practical guidelines for how Oregon might incorporate offshore wind with the environment, existing ocean uses, cultures, and communities.
The work group developed a set of considerations as the Department of Land Conservation and Development convenes people to build the Roadmap. See a link to the Roadmap Considerations document below.
Join the group for a Virtual Information Session on the Considerations document on May 7 from 1-2pm PST.
Register here.
Zoom has capacity for 300 people, and we will record the Session to post here. If there is a lot of interest, we will schedule a second session, or find a way to include everyone who is interested.
For detailed information of this group’s progress and discussions, see executive summaries of the group’s monthly meetings at the link below. Additionally, the group’s roster of participants can be found at the link below.
