Over the past decade, the wind fleet’s average capacity factor has increased substantially. Researchers have been debating how much of the improvement should be credited to technology versus increasing wind speeds.

If LPO determines, based on the materials submitted to DOE in the Part I application, that a project satisfies the technical eligibility requirements, then LPO’s invites the applicant to submit a Part II application. Learn more about Part II applications.

There’s something big going down at EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

Since the start of 2022, EM crews at Oak Ridge have finished deactivating the former Criticality Experiment Laboratory and the mercury contaminated Column Exchange (COLEX) equipment at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12).

The Richland Operations Office (RL) and cleanup contractor CPCCo are off to a strong start on one of EM’s key construction priorities for 2022, with workers preparing to safely enclose, or “cocoon,” the seventh of nine former reactors on the Hanford Site.

In a project that saves taxpayer money, cleanup crews refurbished a former storage facility for waste disposal operations during the teardown of the Main Plant Process Building at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP).
