The Nova Scotia and Massachusetts governments are jointly seeking feedback on offshore wind development. The request aims to explore offshore wind development in Nova Scotia and delivery of clean energy to New England, according to a news release from the provincial government. The request includes Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. It asks for feedback from offshore wind and transmission developers, Indigenous communities, utilities, fisheries representatives, labour groups, supply chain companies, researchers and environmental organizations. The governments say the feedback will help them better understand market interest, workforce opportunities, transmission options and necessary infrastructure for future development. The deadline for the request for information is Dec. 31. Premier in Boston As part of his push for energy development, Premier Tim Houston is in Boston this week to speak on a panel at the U.S.-Canada Executive Energy Conference. “Wind West is a huge opportunity to work together to deliver the clean energy our region needs while creating jobs and investment here at home,” said Houston in a news release. The premier’s chief of staff Nicole LaFosse, associate deputy minister Dave MacGregor and other senior staff from the Department of Energy have joined him on the trip.
