- REMI is hosting a webinar on the Economics of Offshore Wind Investment in California on Wednesday, July 24th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

In our case study, we will look at how the installation of offshore wind along California’s coast affects the regional economy. Our study will show the effects of offshore wind on utility prices, such as the short-term change in electricity prices, through an energy pricing model. Electricity price can be based on the size of a wind farm project and the supply of external energy. Furthermore, the E3+ model will gauge the effects of a change in carbon consumption and an increase of clean energy use, leading to forecasts that measure the influence of carbon tax and long-term renewable electricity that is a result of renewable wind.
