DNV GL has established a renewables certification office in the United States to meet the growing demands for certification services for the nascent offshore wind industry.
DNV GL selected its Medford, Massachusetts office as base for its US renewables certification group, given its proximity to both Boston and New York City. The US operations will be managed by David Maloney, who first served as Certified Verification Agent (CVA) on the Cape Wind Project in 2012. Much of the potential development of offshore wind in the USA lies in federal waters, which requires third party certification for the design, manufacturing and installation of the entire facility.
