Workshop on Assembly Bill 525: Offshore Wind Energy Permitting Roadmap

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a workshop focusing on permitting approaches for offshore wind energy facilities and associated infrastructure off the coast of California as discussed in the Assembly Bill 525 Offshore Wind Energy Permitting Roadmap report, which was adopted by the CEC on May 10, 2023 in response to Assembly Bill 525 (Chiu, Chapter 231, Statutes of 2021) (AB 525).
