US DoE announces $28m funding for wind energy research

摘要

The US Department of Energy (DoE) has announced up to $28.1 million in funding aimed at advancing wind energy nationwide across the land-based, offshore, and distributed wind sectors. Of this up to $17 million has been dedicated to offshore wind. While utility-scale wind energy in the US has grown to 90 GW, significant opportunities for cost reductions remain, especially in the areas of offshore wind, distributed wind, and tall wind, the DoE said.
