The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Northwest Energy Innovations, LLC (NWEI) to design, fabricate, deploy, and test a commercial-scale Azura wave energy device (WEC) for comparison of performance, reliability, and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The expected outcome of the project is to demonstrate that the WEC can achieve a sufficient level of Net Annual Energy Production (AEP) at a capital cost (CAPEX) and operating cost (OPEX) demonstrating that wave energy can be commercially viable.
