Upcoming Webinars
Offshore Wind Webinar Series
Offshore wind is a complicated topic. We know it can be a critically important energy resource in our efforts to mitigate climate change, but it also evokes a lot of questions. How much will it cost and what will it mean for our economies and the health of our communities? Where should it be located? And how might it impact the species and habitats we care about?
The Nature Conservancy is launching this monthly seven-part webinar series to convene experts who can help us answer some of the most challenging questions we have about offshore wind and explore how it can help us create a cleaner, greener and more prosperous future. We hope you will join us.
Series Webinar 1 | A Windfall: Can offshore wind save money and the planet?
Thursday, July 18, 2024 | 12 - 1 pm ET
Join us for a discussion hosted by Tricia Jedele, Offshore Wind Policy Manager for The Nature Conservancy. She will be in conversation with Susan Muller, Senior Energy Analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists and Melissa Whited, Synapse Energy Economics Vice President, about the results of their recent analyses on why offshore wind is so important for New England, especially during the winter, and how it can reduce energy costs for New England ratepayers. While the application of these analyses is specific to New England, they demonstrate a reality about offshore wind that is playing out throughout the country. There are multiple factors that have to be considered when we think about the true price tag of offshore wind, and these reports represent models of the type of analyses we can—and maybe should—be doing in other places where offshore wind is an important part of the energy future.
Series Webinar 2 | Mapping the Course: Navigating Offshore Wind Siting Strategies
Thursday, August 22, 2024 | 12 - 1 pm ET
Join us for a conversation about the federal siting process for offshore wind. We will hear from Dr. Seth Theuerkauf, a Renewable Energy Program Specialist with the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, who will explain the approach the federal government uses to identify wind energy areas in the ocean that are suitable for offshore wind leasing. Hosted by Tricia Jedele, Offshore Wind Policy Manager at TNC.
