URI is a public source of unbiased, scientific, and expert information regarding siting and impacts of offshore renewable energy.
Our Dedication to You
“Our goal is to serve as a neutral broker and provider of science-based information to help our stakeholders — government, private sector, academic, and community members — collaborate on choices regarding the rapidly developing offshore renewable energy (ORE) arena. Rhode Island, through the creation of the Block Island Wind farm, is the first host of offshore wind energy (OWE) in the United States, and we at the University of Rhode Island are ready and able to provide the sound and unbiased data you need to help you understand and engage with ORE and OWE issues.”
