One of the Summit's Keynote speakers, Commissioner of the California Energy Commission, David Hochschild, will deliver an address titled California Renewable Energy and OSW Perspective and Partnering with Pac Rim. "As California moves to 100% clean energy by 2045, offshore wind is poised to play a major role," said Hochschild. "This convening is another important opportunity for policymakers and investors to continue the dialogue about how we can work together to overcome technological and bureaucratic hurdles necessary to bring this important source of clean, domestic energy into the mainstream."

POET's Board Chair, Kevin Banister, also underlined the potential offshore wind: "The Pacific Ocean Energy Trust is excited to partner with Infocast to host this inaugural Pacific Rim Offshore Wind conference. The potential of offshore wind on the west coast of the United States and the Pacific Rim to provide safe, reliable, and affordable clean energy is an extraordinary opportunity that deserves to be fully explored.
