Analysis of Maryland Steel Facilities for Sufficiency to Support Offshore Wind Energy Deployment

This report analyzes the capabilities of Marylandﾒs steel production, fabrication, and shipbuilding assets to support the commercial deployment of offshore wind generation along the Atlantic seaboard. Three scenarios based on different levels of investment are offered. Under a passive scenario, miniminal incremental sales could reach $20 million by 2025. The base scenario could bring over over $650 million by 2025 and between 3,500-5,000 jobs. An aggressive scenario could yield $1.5 billion by 2025 and between 6,000-8,500 jobs.
