DOE announced $264 million in funding for 29 projects to develop solutions for the scientific challenges underlying DOE’s Energy Earthshot goals.

DOE released a $10 million funding opportunity announcement to fund research to drive innovation and reduce costs of high-voltage direct current.

Building a system of ports on the West Coast could enable the United States to develop a domestic supply chain and ensure efficient installation and maintenance of floating offshore wind farms, according to a study from NREL.

The Wind Turbine Verification Program, established in 1993, introduced electric utilities to emerging wind turbine technologies, created more confidence in wind power, and helped wind energy become the robust renewable energy resource it is today.

DOE announced $30 million for advancing innovative practices that will reshape the design, materials, and manufacturing for wind turbine equipment.

Applications can now be submitted for a $10 million funding and technical assistance program to expand state and local government capacity to support the planning, siting, and permitting of large-scale renewable energy projects on private land.
