Ventus Energy has launched its US entity with two east coast locations to further support the rapidly growing offshore wind industry in the United States.

Operating as Ventus Energy Incorporated, the primary office is located in Brooklyn, New York, within the Industry City complex.

This places the company close to key clients and overlooks the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, a strategic site for upcoming projects.

A second base in Virginia positions the organisation to aid offshore wind developments up and down the east coast.

This expansion aligns with the organisation's commitment to advancing a sustainable energy landscape. The move is expected to create a number of new jobs within the offshore wind sector in the near future, contributing to economic growth in the region.

The US division will be led by an experienced team to drive growth and success, with the company’s UK senior leadership team taking on key roles. Managing director Lee Glendening and financial director Les Nutter will serve as president and vice president, respectively.

Klaus Duttine of Ventus Energy’s parent company, Topp Holdings, will also join the US entity in a vice president role.
