Hosted by the Conservative Energy Network, this webinar will discuss The Environmental and Economic Benefit Connection Between Offshore Oil & Gas and Offshore Wind Energy—the first-ever application of a Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA) to an offshore wind project.
This study provides a data-driven, transparent framework for evaluating the long-term ecological and economic impacts of offshore wind development. NEBA has been a trusted tool for assessing offshore oil and gas projects, and its use in offshore wind offers policymakers a new, science-backed approach to balancing benefits and risks. John Szoka, CEO of CEN, will share the report’s insights into how offshore wind structures enhance marine ecosystems, boost commercial and recreational fisheries, and deliver lasting economic value. Learn why NEBA should be included in the evaluation of future offshore wind projects and how it can help inform smart, balanced energy policy.
