Offshore wind in the Gulf of Mexico: Building on its offshore energy pastLocated in the heart of America's offshore energy industry, New Orleans will host 2024 IPF just as the Gulf of Mexico begins developing its offshore wind market. Although the region's first lease areas will be auctioned in late 2023, Gulf companies are already hard at work building America's next energy industry and moving to integrate new technologies like green hydrogen into offshore wind. Embracing its offshore energy past and embracing the future of offshore wind, New Orleans and the state of Louisiana are emerging as a center of experience, expertise, innovation, and heart of this new industry.
