The spotlight has never shined brighter on clean energy project siting and permitting. While clean energy projects are pouring into the pipeline, the industry is experiencing unprecedented delays across the country. Getting projects off the ground is becoming more and more challenging. At ACP’s expanded Siting & Permitting Conference, previously known as the Siting & Environmental Compliance Conference, industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders convene to collaborate on challenges, best practices and solutions.

The International Partnering Forum (IPF) is the largest offshore wind and ocean renewables conference in the Americas. Hosted by Oceantic Network, IPF is where industry experts from around the world come together to transform the industry through collaboration and innovation.

The Central Atlantic Supplier Fair at 2025 IPF is designed to foster strong business-to-business connections by bringing attendees together with regional developers, Tier 1 suppliers, and OEMs. Speakers will share regional industry and project updates and share advice on pursing contracts in offshore renewable energy. Attendees will hear from exhibitors about business opportunities, with a particular focus on the Central Atlantic region, and better understand procurement processes, requirements, and timelines.

Oceantic Network’s Ventus Gala brings together the global offshore wind community to celebrate their collective accomplishments as well as honor the leaders and innovators that inspire the industry with ingenuity and confidence.

Clean Power on the Hill gives ACP members the unique opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., and share their personal experiences in one-on-one meetings with Members of Congress and their staff. Attendees participate in advocacy training and then put that training into action, educating legislators and their staff on the clean power industry’s top federal policy initiatives.

The Ocean Renewables Summit at IPF brings together the offshore wind industry and providers of other ocean-based energy technologies such as wave, tidal, offshore solar, and more. Attendees will learn about these emerging technologies, meet potential supply chain partners, and gain day-of-summit access to the IPF Exhibit Hall. If you are attending IPF, add Ocean Renewables Summit to your itinerary during the registration process.

The U.S. offshore wind industry requires a skilled and resilient workforce that is well-trained, certified, and ready to answer the call of developers, manufacturers, government, and others. Addressing this pressing need requires collaboration, partnership, and thoughtful planning by multiple stakeholders. This participatory gathering of workforce development leaders, industry experts, government officials, and others will engage on topics such as training needs, current and future programs, research activities, and understanding regional and national workforce issues.

In this webinar hosted by NYSERDA, Mary Harvey and Cormac Dineen with Carbon Trust will discuss the emissions benefits of offshore wind compared to traditional sources of electricity, methods of calculating carbon footprint, and the importance of data in reaching a net zero offshore wind industry.

The Handbook of Scour and Cable Protection Methods is the result of a multi-year research program performed as a Joint Industry Project with the contribution of over 20 industrial partners. This project was initiated from the observation that no good and generically applicable design formulae and guidelines exist to protect offshore structures against scour. Instead, there are various existing methods and concepts that lack a sound basis for design. Different parties apply different solutions against scour around the support structure with varying degrees of success.

Join the most knowledgeable minds in clean energy at ACP’s CLEANPOWER event to chart the future of this powerful industry and explore the opportunities ahead. CLEANPOWER drives business growth by bringing together key decision-makers and stakeholders across the wind, solar, storage, hydrogen, and transmission industries for discussion, deal-making, networking, and a whole lot of fun.

This event brings together top developers, government officials, and key stakeholders across the industry who are working to achieve the full promise of the U.S. offshore wind power industry.
