The U.S. offshore wind market has gained momentum in the last two years, panelists told the Energy Bar Association’s Mid-Year Energy Forum.

Dominion Energy announced it will build the second offshore wind project in the U.S.: two 6-MW turbines about 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach.

With only hours to go at the end of its session, the Massachusetts legislature passed a major energy bill that boosts Canadian hydropower and offshore wind.
