The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Cornell University to develop best practices for offshore wind measurements that are used to characterize wind resource and turbine loads in the offshore environment.
DOE completed a previous NEPA determination for Tasks 1 through 6 (GFO-0005379-001, CX A9, B3.1, B3.2, and B3.16, 2/29/2012) of this award which included designing, planning, and installation of data collection systems at the Meadow Lake Wind Farm in Indiana and on existing buoys in Lake Erie, as well as conducting data analysis and computer modeling. This NEPA determination applies to Task 7 only.
