The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the selection of 13 projects to receive a total of US$ 28 million to advance wind energy nationwide.
While utility-scale, land-based wind energy in the United States has grown to 96GW, significant opportunities for cost reductions remain, especially in the areas of offshore wind, distributed wind, and tall wind. The selected projects span the technology development spectrum—including testing, demonstration, integration, and technical assistance—and cover all three wind energy sectors: distributed, offshore, and land-based utility-scale wind.
