The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Columbia Power Technologies (CPT) to demonstrate the Columbia Power Wave Energy Converter (CPwr WEC) in a grid connected open ocean environment.
The CPT project is one of three proposed projects that have been selected under the Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0001310. Each of the three proposed projects would consist of three budget periods (BP). DOE previously completed a NEPA review for BP 1 of the proposed project (GFO-0007347-001; CX A9; 3/18/2016). DOE is now proposing to fund BP 2 activities. This NEPA determination applies exclusively to BP 2 activities proposed to be undertaken by CPT.
