Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo) is a regional non-profit developing an offshore wind industry in Ohio. LEEDCo directly represents Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Lake, and Lorain Counties in addition to the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Foundation, and NorTech. An initial project, Icebreaker, is designed to capture the "first mover advantage" and position Ohio as the "technological leader" which will promote utility and commercial scale development throughout the Great Lakes. LEEDCo's focus includes public outreach, research & engineering partnerships, and supply chain development. Icebreaker will also promote market barrier removal by creating a leasing and permitting pathway with key state and federal regulatory agencies.  This will attract private sector investment that will lay the groundwork for a regional plan of developing 1,000 MW in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie by 2020.
