Community Benefits from Offshore Wind?

For offshore wind to be successful, there will need to be considerable investment in Humboldt County—from big infrastructure, like new transmission lines and substations, but also investment in housing, healthcare, childcare and other “human infrastructure.” On this week’s show, we talk about how we can draw out community benefits from offshore wind development. Erik Peckar of Vineyard Power joins the show to provide the experience and perspective of residents of Martha’s Vineyard, a community that has already negotiated community benefit agreements related to offshore wind. Eddie Ahn of Brightline Defense talks about his experience negotiating community benefit agreements for other non-wind projects. Katerina Oskarsson of the CORE Hub at the Humboldt Area Foundation discusses her organizations work to develop community priorities for investments. What do you think needs to be developed for offshore wind to be successful?
