Governor Janet T. Mills (D) and Maine’s delegation yesterday completed a weeklong trip to Norway and Denmark focused on establishing Maine as a US leader in the Gulf of Maine development and deployment of floating offshore wind turbines.

Following the whirlwind trip that included visits to Norway and Denmark, the Governor issued the following statement upon her return to the US:

“Our time in Denmark was productive and informative.  It provided a valuable opportunity for state officials to meet directly with government officials who value bilateral collaboration and with business and industry leaders who are deeply interested in investing in Maine’s emerging floating offshore wind industry,” said Governor Janet T. Mills in a press release issued last night.  “I look forward to using the information and relationships we’ve gained in Norway and Denmark to hep our state responsibly harness the tremendous environmental and economic opportunities offered by offshore wind.”
