Trump vs. Harris: what could be the impact for US offshore wind?
The US presidential election next week has Republican Donald Trump competing against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris and whoever wins will also have a big impact on the future of the American offshore wind industry.
What could each of the wins, Trump vs. Harris, mean for the US offshore wind sector?
Looking at Aegir Insights’ Market Forecast, if Harris is elected, we forecast ~11 GW of capacity built by 2030, vs. under Trump, however, only ~9 GW of offshore wind capacity would be built by 2030.
But regardless of who will become the next president in November, Aegir Insights forecasts that the US will stay way below its 30 GW by 2030 target.
To understand more in depth what a second Trump term could mean for US offshore wind, what actions he might take, and which specific projects they could impact the most, request to receive a complimentary copy of Aegir Insights’ recent report.
