This past weekend at Port of New Orleans, history was made for American #shipbuilding and the domestic #offshorewind industry with Ørsted and Edison Chouest Offshore christening the ECO Edison. As America's very first U.S.-built offshore wind service operations vessel (SOV), this is a tremendous milestone for the domestic OSW supply chain and the crucial role Louisiana companies will play in its rollout. Over 600 workers logged over 1 million hours in the construction of this state-of-the-art ship to support Ørsted's offshore wind projects in the northeast (South Fork Wind, Llc, Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind Sunrise Wind). National and state leaders, U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr., supported the ceremonies: standing in front of the vessel and behind the State and GNOWind Alliance’s vision to expand its #energy leadership into emerging sectors like offshore wind.

With the right investments and partnerships, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast will become an international hub for #offshore wind manufacturing, expertise and innovation by continuing to build on generational strengths. That’s why last year over 30 Louisiana entities, led by Louisiana State University’s National Center for Advanced Manufacturing, and supported by companies like RWE, Gulf Wind Technology, and Greater New Orleans, Inc. – GNO, Inc., established the Gulf Louisiana Offshore Wind, or GLOW, partnership to pursue federal funding for offshore wind research and innovation. Developers like RWE will continue to invest in new technologies to harness energy from #offshorewind here in the Gulf to help deliver more power to Louisiana homes and businesses. And as the offshore wind supplier database from Greater New Orleans, Inc. showed, the Gulf’s unmatched #energy sector expertise is primed and ready to play a central role in driving that innovation. https://lnkd.in/ega5yHBG 

🌬️🎉 Significant Step Forward in Louisiana: Agreement Signed for Port Fourchon Wind Turbine Yesterday was a significant day as we completed the lease signing with the Greater Lafourche Port Commission for our onshore wind turbine at Port Fourchon. The turbine marks an important juncture in blending traditional energy infrastructure with progressive renewable solutions to provide a platform for education, collaboration and innovation. A special thank you to Chett Chiasson and the GLPC Board of Commissioners for their instrumental role in bringing this to fruition. #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #Sustainability #Louisiana #Innovation #PortFourchon #GWT

Exciting times ahead! UNO and the Beach at UNO excited to participate in LA Wind Week, bringing together industry leaders, local companies, and training providers to discuss the future of offshore wind in Louisiana. Thrilled to have our university President Dr. Kathy Johnson join in this crucial conversation. Let's power up for a sustainable energy future! The Beach UNO

SEWC Board Member Gulf Wind Technology approved a lease agreement that will make Port Fourchon the site of Louisiana's first wind turbine. The turbine, standing 187 feet tall, is en route to the U.S. and is set to become operational later this year. https://bit.ly/3HdtxRP
