The U.S. Department of Energy funded the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) to address standalone energy storage and solar-plus-storage interconnection challenges on the distribution grid.

WETO plans to invest $5.1 million in research and technology development to advance modeling for offshore wind turbine blades at adverse conditions.

More than 85% percent of a solar photovoltaic (PV) module is made of materials we already know how to recycle, like aluminum and glass. However, solar panel recycling—and recycling overall—is not currently cost-effective or widely adopted.

Learn about two developing resources that will provide comprehensive information, tools, and support to anyone interested in installing distributed wind turbines and taking advantage of the benefits of onsite energy.

This proposed funding opportunity aims to improve mooring technologies and methods, which are used to secure floating platforms to the sea floor, for both the U.S. and Denmark.
