The Joint Industry Task Force is no longer active
As of January 1, 2021, the developers opted to not renew their participation agreements. Any documents referring to task force work after this date are incorrect.
In January 2019, RODA announced the creation of a Task Force to improve communications between the commercial fishing industry and offshore wind energy developers. The goal was to provide a more structured process to explore improved approaches to project siting, design, and operations between the two industries.
We designed a Charter and Terms of Reference at the inaugural meeting in June 2019. Please see below for these documents.
Former Members of the Task Force:
- RODA members representing diverse fisheries
- Orsted
- Equinor
- Vineyard Wind
- Mayflower
- Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind
- Avangrid Renewables
- EnBW
- RWE Renewables
