**Pacific Offshore Wind Summit**

The Pacific Offshore Wind Summit is a pivotal event focused on advancing floating offshore wind energy along the California coast. Scheduled for May 13-15, 2024, at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, this summit serves as a platform for industry leaders, federal and state officials, and key stakeholders to collaborate in shaping California's renewable energy future. With California aiming to generate up to 5 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030 and expand to 25 GW by 2045, the summit reflects the state's commitment to becoming a global leader in offshore wind development.

The event will examine crucial steps outlined in the California Energy Commission’s Draft AB 525 strategic plan, including investment in infrastructure, clear permitting processes, and workforce training. As a nonprofit coalition, Offshore Wind California supports policies for responsible offshore wind deployment and public advocacy for this essential renewable resource. Join the conversation and contribute to building a sustainable energy landscape while networking with other professionals in the field.
