What this episode covers

In this episode of PowerPod, Jamie Bernthal-Hooker is joined by US analyst Dan Wiseman to unpack a turbulent period for offshore wind in the United States. They explore the recent wave of stop-work orders and subsequent legal victories, key project milestones including Vineyard Wind and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, and the implications of a landmark government buyout of TotalEnergies’ projects. The discussion also examines the growing political and financial risks facing developers, the fragility of investor confidence, and whether the US can regain the momentum it once had in offshore wind. With global competition intensifying and supply chain challenges mounting, the episode offers a clear-eyed view of where the market stands and where it may be heading.
