Sloan Energy Club: Offshore Wind with Ali Alrayes (Vineyard Offshore, LGO '20)
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
The Offshore Wind sector is poised for dramatic growth in the US as development costs fall and new site leases become available, spurred on by an enormous advantage over onshore renewable resource (both wind & solar) which is often located far from coastal populations, and cannot be connected to load centers due to the costs and permitting hurdles of major transmission developments.
Ali graduated from MIT Sloan in 2020, and has since worked with Enel Green Power in their Energy Storage team, before moving to Vineyard Offshore - the team behind 'Vineyard Wind', the first commercial scale offshore wind project in the US, which broke ground in November 2021.
