The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to collect wave resource data using buoys and instrumentation at two potential wave energy sites off the coast of Reedsport and Lakeside, Oregon for up to a two year period.

Proposed activities would include: data analysis, project management and contract actions to select an experienced subcontractor to: develop a buoy and instrumentation deployment plan, obtain necessary permits and approvals for deployment and recovery of buoys and instrumentation.
