CVOW Commercial – Noteworthy facts�

Buried Export Cables – Each OSS has 3 cables, 9 x (range 37-44 miles), so average 365 miles. That’s distance across the state of VA, or the driving distance from Richmond to NYC on I-95

Buried Inter-Array Cables – 275 miles…Straight line distance VA Beach to New York City, or driving distance from Richmond to Philly on I-95

Steel – Monopiles are approximately 1466 tons; TP’s are 810 tons. Multiply by 188, and you get 427,000 tons…more than 4 nuclear powered aircraft carriers

Wind Turbine Generator – Nacelle 650 tons, length 22 M (72’)…about 3/4 length of a basketball court.

Blades – 354’, about a football field including the end zones

Rotor diameter – 222 M (754’), which is 2.78x the wingspan of the Airbus A-380-800

Offshore Wind: Economic Development

10

As part of the VCEA (Virginia Clean Economy Act), there are legislated requirements that the Company must demonstrate have been met. Those requirements include:

Demonstration of the economic benefits to Virginia, including investment and job creation

Prioritization of hiring veterans transitioning out of military service and workers from local and historically economic disadvantaged communities in Virginia. Keep in mind, the HR Region transitions over 8,000 well trained service members into the private sector every year. These men and women have skills in maritime operations, working with heavy equipment and high-tech systems.

It is critical that suppliers recognize these requirements and incorporate them into their plans to deliver the services and equipment for all phases of CVOW. To that end, the Company will require all suppliers to collect and report on their engagement and utilization with Virginia companies and workers.

Project Construction local economic activity to date:

17 Virginia based contracts
40 Virginia based personnel
$15M Virginia spend to date

“Local Content Task Force”

Connecting local diverse suppliers with the major package vendors.

Project Construction All Hands Meeting

The partners you see listed are involved in the development of the wind workforce needed in Virginia. The Commonwealth has a world class community college system made up of 26 colleges including Tidewater, Thomas Nelson, and Camp Community Colleges in Hampton Roads

There are five universities in Virginia with active programs to support training OSW professionals.

The University of Virginia has a 2 MW research turbine on campus.
Virginia Tech has the second largest wave pool on the east coast
William & Mary is home to the VIMS, the Virginia Institute for Marine Science
James Madison University is home to the Virginia Center on Renewables
Old Dominion University is the state’s partner on research opportunities on the CVOW pilot project. As the only research turbines in the US, they are garnering national interest.

Moving to Workforce Councils and VEDP:

The Workforce Councils work on the Federal, State and Local levels to support individuals in transition through coordinating and running training program across many industries.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the State’s Economic Development Agency, has a nationally recognized talent accelerator which works with new and existing companies on their training needs.

The chevron on the right highlights a critical aspect of workforce development - Technical Training Facilities:

New College Institute, a State Center of Higher Education in Martinsville is focused on training of onshore wind technicians

Centura College and Mid-Atlantic Maritime Academy are focused on the offshore wind technician training and the Global Wind Organization certifications for working on the turbines at sea.

New Horizons in Hampton, along with the Hampton Maritime Academy and many of our other K-12 partners are looking at growing the maritime skilled trades workforce to meet the needs of shipyards and the wind industry.

It is certainly easy to recognize Virginia is committed to and has made investments to providing the needed professional and skilled workforce required to build CVOW and serve as the mid-Atlantic OSW Hub
