The Climate Initiatives Task Force of Louisiana (United States) has approved the state's first-ever Climate Action Plan, which aims at reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and includes an offshore wind power generation goal of 5 GW by 2035. This goal requires strategic collaboration across Louisiana state agencies and the federal government, transmission planning agencies, energy regulators, utilities, and the private sector.
The United States aims to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and to permit at least 25 GW of onshore renewable energy by 2025. In November 2021, the US Department of the Interior published a Call for Information and Nominations to further assess commercial interest in, and invite public comment on, possible commercial wind energy leasing in a proposed area consisting of almost 30 million acres (121,000 km2) just west of the Mississippi River to the Texas/Mexican border. The country plans to potentially hold offshore wind lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico by 2025.
