Monopiles being delivered to the Port of Argentia (via Port of Argentia)
The CEO of the Port of Argentia recently met with officials from the New England states focused on renewable energy – and wind power in particular.
The port is already serving as a storage area for monopiles bound for the U.S. awaiting a change in American energy policy that will lift a freeze on offshore wind development imposed by President Donald Trump.
Scott Penney says the port is currently engaged in a number of “major files’ and whether or not those policies will change in the foreseeable future remains to be seen.
That said, the port is happy to play a role, if and when possible.
“My message to them was, ‘if we’re available, we’d love to be a part of it. It’s a great project for us, great exposure, and we’d love to be involved if the opportunity presents itself down the road.’”
