Please join us on May 6, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT as Nossaman’s Coastal Development and Environment & Land Use Groups present “Charting a Course for Offshore Wind Energy in California” to discuss current proposals and pending regulations concerning offshore wind development along the California coast.

We will be participating on a top tier panel of coastal specialists which will also include: Kate Huckelbridge, Deputy Director of Energy, Ocean Resources & Federal Consistency, CA Coastal Commission; Jennifer Lucchesi, Executive Officer, State Lands Commission; Matt Marshall, Executive Director, Redwood Coast Energy Authority; and Chris Potter, Conservation and Mitigation Banking, Marine Region, California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

This is a must-attend program for project developers, manufacturers, utilities and other constituencies seeking insight into the future path for offshore wind energy in California. Our panel will discuss:

• A brief history of California offshore wind proposals and development to date;
• The role of the California Coastal Commission in reviewing aspects of offshore wind development in federal & state waters;
• Offshore wind applications in state waters, including the CEQA process and Environmental Impact Report preparation;
• The role of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the intergovernmental task force in project development; and
• The status of current projects proposed along the California coast.

Our panel will also devote time for a substantive Q&A session following the presentation, so we invite you to submit your questions while registering or during the webinar.
