The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Oregon State University (OSU) to evaluate and validate the facility siting, design, construction and operational requirements for open-ocean, grid-connected wave energy conversion (WEC) device testing and performance certification/validation at the Pacific Marine Energy Center South Energy Test Site (PMEC-SETS).
Tasks 1 through 6 of the proposed project have been previously reviewed and received a NEPA determination (GFO-0006518-001, CX A9, 11/5/2014). A revised SOPO identifying four additional tasks has been submitted in response to a Determination of Non-Competitive Financial Assistance. This conditional NEPA determination applies to the following four tasks as described in the revised, final SOPO.
