The Northeast Regional Ocean Council, in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean, invites you to participate in a Friday morning webinar series to increase understanding and promote dialogue about offshore wind transmission planning in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S.

Registration for these webinars is now open.

View the full Offshore Wind Transmission Series Program.
