Addressing barriers to the deployment of wind energy—including offshore, land-based, and distributed—is imperative to lowering energy costs for consumers. This upcoming $28 million funding opportunity will:
- Advance high-voltage direct current technologies needed for offshore wind transmission—$9.7 million
- Advance understanding of offshore wind community impacts and help affected communities more effectively participate in and capture benefits from offshore wind development—$6.9 million
- Improve technologies designed to deter bats from interacting with wind turbines—$8 million
- Develop innovative zoning and permitting processes to make distributed wind more accessible to community members in localities where distributed wind can be cost-effectively and equitably deployed—$3.3 million
