Energy affordability depends on having enough reliable supply on the grid, which starts with a balanced, all-of-the-above approach.

In a recent Washington Examiner op-ed, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY-17) and Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions’s President and CEO Heather Reams emphasize that “rather than picking winners and losers, policymakers should encourage investment across the energy sector and allow markets and innovation to determine where different technologies work best.”

As demand continues to grow, a diverse energy mix helps reduce risk, strengthens reliability, and ensures power is available when it’s needed most.

Bringing new domestic resources online, including offshore wind, will be essential to maintaining reliability and keeping costs manageable.

Over the past two weeks, two major offshore wind projects have begun delivering power to the U.S. grid. This is real, measurable progress for an industry that is often discussed but now increasingly delivering.

Projects like Revolution Wind are now supplying electricity to the Northeast, with capacity to power hundreds of thousands of homes and provide long-term, fixed-price energy that helps stabilize costs for consumers.

As electricity demand continues to grow, the conversation is shifting from potential to performance. Offshore wind is not just a future resource — it is actively contributing to grid reliability, cost stability, and energy security today. https://www.power-eng.com/renewables/wind-energy/dont-look-now-but-more-offshore-wind-projects-are-sending-power-to-the-us-grid/

Great to see this high of capacity factor coming out of Ørsted U.S.'s South Fork Wind project!

Reliable renewable energy in action: South Fork Wind is showing up when it matters.

According to the latest data, South Fork Wind generated power on 99% of days and was producing electricity over 90% of the time.

For Long Island, that means affordable, reliable, clean energy from a local source — exactly what a constrained grid needs.

After years of development, Revolution Wind is now delivering power to Southern New England’s grid. 👏

Local experts, speaking with NBC 10 WJAR Providence, highlight why this matters: offshore wind provides long-term, predictable pricing through fixed contracts, helping protect consumers from volatility in global energy markets.

At a time of rising electricity demand and fluctuating energy costs, projects like this bring stable, domestic power online when it’s needed most.

Early indications on cost are also encouraging, showing power from Revolution Wind is being delivered at rates at or below current electricity prices, with the potential to help lower costs over time.

Offshore wind does not significantly interfere with modern military radar or national security operations.

Today’s defense and radar systems are designed to operate in complex environments, including alongside offshore wind development. Recent analysis from Spectrum highlights that modern capabilities ensure that offshore wind and national security priorities can move forward together.

As electricity demand grows and the need for reliable, domestic energy increases, offshore wind remains a scalable resource that strengthens the grid while aligning with broader national priorities.

According to a study from the American Clean Power Association, clean energy saved consumers over $2 billion during Winter Storm Fern.

A diverse energy mix – that includes offshore wind – is essential for protecting affordability, grid reliability, and American energy dominance.

FACT CHECK: Clean energy isn’t what’s driving higher electricity prices.

New analysis from Clean Air Task Force finds there’s no clear link between adding renewable generation and rising power rates.

What is driving costs?
• Growing electricity demand
• Grid infrastructure upgrades
• Fuel price volatility

Meeting America’s rising energy needs will require an all-of-the-above approach. Offshore wind can help strengthen the grid by generating power during winter months when demand is high and reliable energy supply is critical.

Data shows that renewable standard portfolio and net-metering programs can raise rates, but clean energy deployed outside of these programs has no discernible impact, said the Clean Air Task Force.

TOMORROW: Oceantic Network is hosting a webinar exploring how domestic steel manufacturing and offshore wind development can work together to strengthen America’s energy supply chain.

This timely discussion will highlight new research examining steel demand across roughly 74 GW of near-term offshore wind projects and the opportunities this growth presents for U.S. manufacturers, workers, and policymakers.

Disruptions in global oil markets don’t just affect what you pay at the pump. They ripple across the economy, from electricity costs to mortgage rates.
 
That’s why diversifying America’s energy mix matters. Offshore wind provides reliable, domestic power that can help stabilize the grid when global fuel markets are volatile.

Unleashing American energy dominance requires an all-of-the-above approach that welcomes every resource that works.
 
Offshore wind is poised to play a big role in the next wave of American energy, strengthening grid reliability and helping meet growing demand. But to unlock that potential we need stable, predictable policies that attract the investment required to build the next generation of energy infrastructure.
