Articles about Offshore Wind Research and Development

The Offshore Compliance Recommended Practices: 2022 Edition was approved earlier this year and will help boost U.S. offshore wind development efficiency.

National Public Radio’s Leila Fadel spoke with engineer Amy Robertson of NREL about the push to drastically increase U.S. offshore wind production.

WETO is supporting an open call and invites applications for technology innovations that address technology gaps for distributed, land-based, and offshore wind.

DOE Requests Information on Floating Offshore Wind Energy Mooring and Anchoring

Addressing barriers to the deployment of wind energy—including offshore, land-based, and distributed—is imperative to lowering energy costs for consumers.

In a collaborative study published in Wind Energy Science, a team led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory examined offshore wind energy challenges and laid out future approaches to meet them.

DOE Announces $1.6 million for a jointly funded project supporting the coexistence of offshore wind with bats on the West Coast.

The National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium (NOWRDC), which was established with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has selected five new projects to receive a total of $3.5 million for ocean coexistence and transmission.

An NREL study will outline a strategic network of U.S. West Coast ports and port infrastructure upgrades that could collaboratively unlock the potential of commercial-scale floating offshore wind energy technology deployment.

Floating offshore wind potential offers more than two times the energy equivalent of annual U.S. electricity consumption, even after accounting for relative technical suitability in support of responsible offshore wind energy deployment.
