Environment and sustainability
We seek to minimize Beacon Wind’s impact on the environment by collaborating with conservation and preservation groups, fisheries, front-line and tribal communities, and others. We are committed to best practices to mitigate environmental and social impacts from the development of renewable energy in the Beacon Wind lease area. We believe in the cooperative coexistence of offshore wind development with wildlife.
There is no construction occurring yet in the Beacon Wind lease area.
A resilient, sustainable and competitive supply chain is vital to meeting the increasing demand for OFW. Together with JERA, the IJV creates a world class platform of operating assets and a development pipeline which creates material scale and expertise, which we look to leverage to develop long term relationship in the supply chain. We see both bp and JERA’s supply chain partners as critical to the success of our projects and the IJV going forward. Completion of JERA Nex bp is subject to regulatory and other approvals, with completion expected by end of the third quarter of 2025.
