Offshore Wind

Reliability on the open seas

Offshore wind investments are poised to deliver up to $57 billion in economic growth as soon as 2025 according to the American Wind Energy Association. With President Biden’s commitment to doubling offshore wind power generation by 2030, the opportunity and demand for offshore wind power generation has never been higher. At Kiewit, our nationwide team of construction professionals, engineers, and procurement specialists bring the necessary expertise to support your offshore goals

The United States have committed to generating nearly 40 GW of electricity through offshore wind by 2030.

Offshore wind offers its fair share of risks. From onshore grid congestion to shipping concerns, even the slightest delay can leave vessels in stasis, workers without jobs, and expenses piling up. At Kiewit, our offshore experts bring foresight and experience to every job to help minimize delays. From floating or fixed wind farms to port construction and repair, our team specializes in applying the lessons from the international offshore market to reduce risk and bring American innovation to American power.

With over 40 years of offshore structure fabrication experience, Kiewit Offshore Services is positioned to help grow the U.S. offshore wind market and American workforce with locally made components.
