Top trends leading the offshore wind market into a decade of unprecedented growth.
A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab study assessed market value for solar and wind through 2019. The study, published in Joule, found that average market values for the technologies remained higher than their average generation costs.
DOE announced $1.95 million in wind-energy-related projects for national labs and their research partners as part of more than $30 million in awards for 68 projects supported by the Office of Technology Transitions Technology Commercialization Fund.
Wind repowering—the combined activity of dismantling or refurbishing existing wind turbines and commissioning new ones—plays an important role in the wind industry by modernizing the existing wind fleet and helping maximize wind energy use.
Technology and commercial advancements are expected to continue to drive down the cost of wind energy, according to a survey of the world’s foremost wind power experts led by Berkeley Lab.
A new, comprehensive approach is now available for evaluating renewable energy project revenue and value holistically.
DOE-funded 2020 research shows experts now expect land-based and offshore wind costs to decline ~35–50% by 2050, resulting in costs 50% lower than predicted in 2015.
