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.
Learn about recent guidance from the Internal Revenue Service on the advanced manufacturing production credit, which includes a new section that that offers benefits for wind energy technology manufacturers.
A recent survey from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory solicited information on the current state of siting across the country.
This report from Idaho National Laboratory aims to raise awareness of proven areas of high cybersecurity risk, as well as highlight mitigation tactics that can help prevent similar attacks.
A new Berkley Lab analysis finds that despite an expected future reduction in the number of turbines per power plant, the total estimated annual energy output of wind plants will increase due to larger, more powerful wind turbines.
This $6.5M DOE funding opportunity is ideal for early-career solar energy researchers, supporting early-stage ideas in photovoltaics and concentrating solar-thermal power.
WETO seeks to fund multiple projects for the development of offshore wind environmental monitoring technologies and energy storage systems that can be used to mitigate variability and uncertainties of wind.
