DOE Awards $28 Million for Wind Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration Projects
October 23, 2019 -- Recently (10/22), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of 13 projects to receive a total of $28 million to advance wind energy nationwide. While utility-scale, land-based wind energy in the United States has grown to 96 gigawatts, significant opportunities for cost reductions remain, especially in the areas of offshore wind, distributed wind, and tall wind.
The funding selections were announced by DOE's Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Daniel R Simmons. 'These projects will be instrumental in driving down technology costs and increasing consumer options for wind across the United States as part of our comprehensive energy portfolio,' said Simmons.
The selected projects span the technology development spectrum including testing, demonstration, integration, and technical assistance and cover all three wind energy sectors: distributed, offshore, and land-based utility-scale wind.
