INDUSTRY INSIGHT
New Jersey, California Play Catch-Up On Offshore Wind
California and New Jersey, which have been on slower tracks than other coastal states for offshore wind-energy development, took big steps last month to catch up.
On Sept. 20, New Jersey's Board of Public Utilities began accepting developer applications to build offshore projects from 300 MW to 1,100 MW-touted as the largest single-state offshore wind solicitation in the U.S.
It is the first step to meet a more ambitious 2030 wind energy goal of 3,500 MW set by Gov. Phil Murphy (D), who took office in early 2018 and would also reverse Republican predecessor Chris Christie's clean-energy stance over the prior eight years.

Canadian Licensing Provisions Restrict US PEs
nspe.org
NSPE has alerted the US Trade Representative to Canadian licensing rules that unfairly restrict US PEs from practicing north of the border. In a September 24 letter to the trade representative, NSPE highlighted the discriminatory licensing requirements: Like the United States, Canada allows individual jurisdictions to develop their own requirements for applying for and obtaining a professional engineering license. Unlike most of the United States, however, Canadian provinces have work requirements that can be fulfilled only in Canada, thus prohibiting many US PEs from practicing in Canada, despite having amassed extensive engineering experience and proficiency outside of Canada.
