As offshore wind becomes an increasingly prevalent component of Rhode Island’s economy, understanding the distributional impacts of these projects’ benefits and burdens is paramount. In particular, traditional environmentalist messaging boasts of how the development of renewable energy projects creates thousands of jobs and stimulates economic growth. Yet, these promises of prosperity have different implications for Black, brown, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), low-income, formerly incarcerated, and disadvantaged communities. With billions of dollars being funneled into upcoming offshore wind projects in Rhode Island, considerations of equity must account for marginalized communities that will be impacted by offshore wind infrastructure.
