The sector is projected to grow as the cost of production falls
overtime with generation efficiency estimates “two to three times that

The report, which focuses on the potential economic impact offshore wind could have on California’s economy, was put together by the American Jobs Project along with several other partners including Humboldt State University’s Schatz Energy Research Center. The initial phases of offshore wind development are in motion, with two projects proposed off California’s coast, the report stated. One of the projects, led by the Redwood Community Energy Authority, is eyeing an area off Humboldt County’s coast.
