The subsequent contract will support emerging technologies that detect and deter bird and bat encounters with wind energy facilities.

The Consortium's RFP is related to offshore wind plant technology advancement, which includes optimizing the performance of wind plants.
WETO has issued a $28-million multitopic FOA aimed at enabling wind energy nationwide across all sectors: land-based, offshore, and distributed.

DOE selected ten projects totaling $6.8 million that will reduce the impacts of land-based and offshore wind energy on bats and other wildlife.

The RFP aligns with the office's goals to make wind energy cost competitive with other distributed energy resources.

WETO is supporting a $41 million national offshore wind R&D consortium to facilitate the development of the U.S. offshore wind industry.
The FOA invited proposals to develop a lightweight, more efficient wind turbine drivetrain system that minimizes the use of rare earth magnets.

DOE has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement entitled “Advanced Wind R&D to Reduce Costs and Environmental Impacts.”

NYSERDA selected to partner with DOE as administrator of offshore wind R&D consortium.

Offshore wind turbines on the Atlantic coast (as well as the Gulf Mexico) have several challenges to contend with—including hurricanes.
