OCEAN CITY – The North America’s Building Trades Unions and Ørsted announced a Project Labor Agreement to construct the company’s forthcoming offshore wind farms with an American union workforce.
The May 5 announcement will cover all contractors and subcontractors of Ørsted projects along the Eastern Seaboard. The company has multiple projects in development, but none are as large as Ocean Wind 1, the company’s 1,100-megawatt project slated to be built 15 miles off the coast from Ocean City.
“This historic milestone is a celebration for workers, clean energy and economic opportunity,” David Hardy, CEO of Ørsted Offshore North America, stated. “The National Offshore Wind Agreement we signed with NABTU sets the industry standard from the beginning,” Hardy said in a statement.
“The signing of this unprecedented agreement is historic for America’s workers and our energy future. NABTU’s highly trained men and women professionals have the best craft skills in the world,” NABTU president Sean McGarvey stated.
