US not on track to meet 2030 wind goal
Soaring material costs, high interest rates, and supply chain hiccups are plaguing the transition to clean energy in the U.S.
The U.S. will fall short of the Biden administration’s 2030 offshore wind goal but is likely to catch up in the following years, according to an analysis by the industry group American Clean Power Association (ACP) published Tuesday.
ACP projected there will be roughly 14 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity along U.S. coastlines by 2030, falling short of the 30 GW goal laid out by the administration in 2021.
