Technology and commercial advancements are expected to continue to drive down the cost of wind energy, according to a survey of the world’s foremost wind power experts led by Berkeley Lab.

A new, comprehensive approach is now available for evaluating renewable energy project revenue and value holistically.

DOE-funded 2020 research shows experts now expect land-based and offshore wind costs to decline ~35–50% by 2050, resulting in costs 50% lower than predicted in 2015.

Study indicates wind projects led to substantial increases in revenue and expenditures, boosting capital spending, improving or expanding education facilities and features that were beneficial to students, teachers, and communities.

As we usher in 2021, we’d like to share some of 2020's top wind energy R&D achievements.

The plan outlines WETO's research priorities and plans through the year 2025.

Supersized turbines could reduce costs, enhance value of wind energy—and more.

New open-source tool helps stakeholders assess U.S. offshore wind power plant balance-of-system costs.

First comprehensive study of the U.S. wind fleet shows that the performance of newer plants declines less with age than older plants.

In some markets, wind power is having significant impacts on the timing and location of electricity prices.
