 PLAN FOR U.S. OFFSHORE WIND TRANSMISSION

• Many OSW projects are currently in the pipeline

• Understand Federal regulation including BOEM &

RTO/ISO, State policy, and Local government agency
application and permitting requirements

• Plan early, proactively, inter-regional, and for a long

time horizon

• Evaluate technologies, from offshore to onshore

• Understand risks, from offshore to onshore

• Quality project team, contract approach, and

execution plan, for Engineering, Procurement, and
Construction & Installation
