Governor Wes Moore joins Ørsted on Friday to make a major offshore wind announcement at Tradepoint Atlantic.

Ørsted is developer of the 966-megawatt Skipjack Wind project off the Maryland coast.

Skipjack Wind will create thousands of jobs in Maryland, power nearly 300,000 homes with renewable energy, and help the state achieve its goals of 8.5-gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2031 and 100% clean energy by 2040, officials said in a release.

Moore will highlight construction progress at Tradepoint Atlantic with Ørsted and conduct a bill signing ceremony.

The Bills to be signed include SB 781 POWER ACT, SB 224 Clean Trucks Act of 2023, HB 230 Clean Trucks Act of 2023, and the HB 550 Clean Transportation and Energy Act.
