SUMMARY:Atlantic Canada Offshore Wind Readiness Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Canada Offshore Wind Readiness Forum 2026\nWednesday\, September 16\, 2026 | Four Points by Sheraton Halifax\, NS\n  \nAtlantic Canada is moving beyond early-stage research and planning toward greater coordination across policy\, infrastructure\, and industry. Decisions made today will help shape the region’s approach to offshore wind for years to come. \nThe 2026 Atlantic Canada Offshore Wind Readiness Forum is designed as a strategic convening opportunity\, bringing together decision-makers and stakeholders to build shared understanding and identify the near-term actions needed to strengthen readiness across the region. \nThe forum will highlight areas of progress\, identify opportunities to reduce duplication\, and explore where focused coordination can help advance a well-sequenced and informed approach to offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada. \nWhy This Forum\, Why Now\nThe sector is entering a development readiness phase. Decisions related to policy frameworks\, grid integration\, environmental assessment\, marine use\, and engagement will influence how effectively the region can navigate future development opportunities. \nThe 2026 Forum will draw on lessons from established offshore wind jurisdictions to inform Atlantic Canada’s approach\, helping stakeholders coordinate efforts\, correctly sequence sector enabling activities\, and strengthen readiness for the next phase of planning and decision-making. \nWhat to Expect\n\nPlenary sessions and expert panels presenting data-driven insights and lessons learned from international offshore wind projects\nDiscussions on Atlantic Canada-specific development readiness topics\, including export markets\, market access and transmission planning.\nSessions addressing environmental assessment\, baseline data needs\, and marine use considerations\nExploring engagement approaches with communities and stakeholders in offshore wind development\nOpportunities for networking\, collaboration\, and cross-sector coordination across disciplines\, and jurisdictions\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nResearchers and academics working on offshore wind\nFederal and provincial government representatives\nOffshore wind developers\, utilities\, and system planners\nSupply chain and marine industry organizations\nCommunities and organizations interested in offshore wind planning and development\nInternational experts and collaborators\nIndigenous communities and organizations
