Offshore Energy Modernization Act of 2025

The Offshore Energy Modernization Act of 2025 sets national offshore wind energy production goals of 30 gigawatts by 2030 and 50 gigawatts by 2035, creating a framework for developing offshore renewable energy projects on the outer Continental Shelf. Key provisions require offshore wind developers to meet domestic content requirements (65% U.S.-made components by 2033), establish project labor agreements for construction, and contribute to an Offshore Renewable Energy Compensation Fund that provides payments to affected communities like commercial fishing interests and Tribal groups. The bill establishes an Offshore Power Administration within the Department of Energy to coordinate transmission infrastructure development and requires more efficient environmental reviews while ensuring meaningful Tribal consultation for projects.
