Business Network for Offshore Wind: OSW Port & Vessel Summit

Emily Huggins Jones will serve as featured panelist at the OSW Port & Vessel Summit in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 21-22, 2023. Emily’s panel will address “Attracting Private Infrastructure Capital into Offshore Wind Port Development.”

More than $25 billion worth of investment is needed in offshore wind port infrastructure over the next ten years to meet our offshore wind deployment and supply chain ambitions. While state and federal sources are ramping up, it’s unclear whether public funding will be able to close this infrastructure financing gap. This panel will explore why traditional private infrastructure finance investors have not yet fully embraced offshore wind port projects and what states, port authorities, and port project developers can do to tap into the billions of dollars of private capital in search of high-quality infrastructure projects.

This two-day Summit brings together offshore wind and maritime industry leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the nation’s offshore wind port and vessel infrastructure.
