The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has issued a notice of intent under the Competitiveness Improvement Project (CIP), calling for U.S. manufacturers of small- and medium-sized wind turbine technology to develop project ideas and teams in preparation for a 2025 request for proposals (RFP).

Managed by NREL on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Wind Energy Technologies Office, CIP awards cost-shared subcontracts and national laboratory technical assistance to component suppliers and manufacturers of small- and medium-sized wind turbines.

CIP supports innovation to advance wind energy as a cost-effective, reliable, and compatible distributed energy resource option by:

  • reducing component and system costs
  • optimising designs for increased energy production
  • developing manufacturing processes to reduce hardware costs and meet growing demand
  • improving compatibility with other distributed energy resources and grid-support capabilities
  • ensuring that distributed energy consumers have wind technology options that are certified to national performance and quality standards
