Dear Stakeholder,
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) invites you to the first BOEM Guam Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force meeting on September 11, 2024, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm ChST (September 10, 2024 from 5:00pm - 10:00 pm PT) in Hagatna, Guam. The meeting will also be held virtually over Zoom. To register for the meeting, please go to https://kearnswest.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fNUQxSK0TuGnGqurK9-Vww#/registration.
The purpose of the meeting is to facilitate coordination among Federal, territorial, and local governments on renewable energy activities on the Outer Continental Shelf off Guam’s coast. Specifically, this task force will serve to:
- Coordinate offshore wind energy development planning that aligns with Guam’s sustainability goals.
- Assist in identifying the most suitable areas for potential offshore wind leasing.
- Provide education about offshore wind leasing, permitting, and statutory requirements.
- Exchange information about biological, cultural, and physical resources, ocean uses, and priorities.
Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting, which will be followed by a BOEM-led public question-and-answer session on topics identified on the meeting agenda.
Additional meeting information, including an agenda, will be available on BOEM's Guam activities page at www.boem.gov/Guam.
The BOEM Guam Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force reflects a partnership between federal agencies, the Government of Guam and local agencies. The task force serves as a forum to discuss issues and concerns; exchange data and information about biological, cultural, and physical resources, ocean uses and priorities; and facilitate early and continual dialogue and collaboration opportunities.
