Marine Renewable Resource Services

Offshore Wind

Kleinschmidt Associates is a privately held company of approximately 120 individuals working out of 10 office locations throughout the United States with primary presence on the East Coast in Maine, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alabama, and South Carolina. Kleinschmidt has served the renewable energy industry for over 44 years. Our primary historical expertise has been in hydropower and we are one of the leading companies in this field. We provide engineering, regulatory, and environmental services to utility and developer clients throughout the U.S. Over the last several years, due to strong corporate and staff interest, we have been developing our experience and capabilities with offshore wind, wave, and tidal power.

The marine renewables group has extensive expertise working on a variety of marine renewable projects, including offshore wind, tidal and wave energy projects. We have developed a detailed understanding of the complex issues facing the development of marine renewables projects, from a permitting, engineering and environmental perspective. We are currently assisting a number of clients seeking to develop offshore wind projects along the East Coast and are involved in wave and tidal projects in the U.S. and abroad. Kleinschmidt is further working in a pro-active manner with national associations, such as NHA, AWEA and OWDC to help reduce barriers to adoption of marine renewables.

Kleinschmidt typically works on both the engineering and regulatory side and as a result has a unique perspective that enables us to understand the balance that often needs to be struck between engineering and environmental considerations, particularly when working in the highly regulated waters of the United States.

Based near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, our marine renewables group is ideally placed to service projects all along the eastern seaboard. Furthermore our Oregon and California offices provide an excellent location for hydrokinetic projects on the west coast. By having local offices in this way, it allows us to provide thorough local knowledge while also being highly responsive to our clients needs.

We believe we have the skills and strong interest level that will be instrumental for the successful development of marine renewables in the U.S. The primary service areas that we are offering to this sector are listed below.
