Offshore Wind Internships

The first commercial wind developments in the United States are set to begin construction in 2023 off the coast of Massachusetts. Offshore wind will play a major role in reaching greenhouse gas emission reduction and carbon neutrality goals, and is to become the largest source of clean energy for the country. The Northeast will become a national hub for clean energy innovation. The emerging offshore wind industry will provide economic development opportunities for Massachusetts businesses in the South Coast and Greater Boston regions and create thousands of jobs for Massachusetts residents.
