From offshore wind cables to the shore.
A clearer conversation about the science.
December 3, 2026 · 12:00 PM EST · Online webinar
About the webinar
Before offshore wind power reaches the shore, it travels through the final three miles of state waters, where export cables are buried beneath the seabed and brought to landfall.
What do the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) around those cables look like, and what does the science say about their effects on people and the environment?
Join RENEW Northeast for a clear, science-based look at nearshore EMF, from subsea cable systems to measured fields and research. We’ll also address common questions and misinformation, so community members and local officials can weigh the facts for themselves.
