The National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing offshore wind energy in the U.S. Its core mission is to prioritize, support, and promote R&D activities that reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and mitigate risks associated with offshore wind projects. The Consortium collaborates with industry stakeholders to maximize economic and social benefits, focusing on cost-effective and beneficial offshore wind energy solutions.

The Consortium has made significant strides in the offshore wind sector, including launching Phase II of a multi-state hurricane resilience project. By fostering innovation and collaboration, it has become a pivotal player in reducing costs and enhancing the reliability of offshore wind energy. The organization's efforts contribute to the broader adoption of sustainable energy practices, positioning the U.S. as a leader in renewable energy technology.
