The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced there is US$ 5 million in new funding for Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDCo), the non-profit corporation leading the effort for the first freshwater offshore wind project in the USA.
Through a one-year cooperative agreement, the DOE has committed US$ 4 million to support the advancement of the offshore wind energy project known as "Icebreaker", which consists of five to nine wind turbines seven miles off the coast of Cleveland in Lake Erie. LEEDCo’s private partners committed an additional US$ 1 million in cost share as part of the agreement. "Icebreaker" could potentially receive an additional $46.7 million in federal funding.
