The competition includes two multi-faceted challenges: design, build, and test a wind turbine; and plan and financially analyze a wind plant.
This competition challenges interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate students to create unique solutions to complex wind energy projects.

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.

In 2018, a team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory designed and built the CWC's second-generation wind tunnel.

This small-scale field research project paves the way for a more comprehensive wind plant field validation effort.
EERE expects to fund more than 100 new projects, totaling approximately $20 million

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.
