U.S. Departments of Energy and the Interior Invest $17 Million to Enhance the Sustainability and Reliability of Offshore Renewable Energy Deployments

The U.S. Departments of Energy and the Interior announced the selection of 14 projects totaling nearly $17 million to further support durable and environmentally responsible U.S. offshore wind energy and marine energy deployments.

These projects include research for technology advancements to improve the integrity of mooring systems that keep floating offshore wind energy platforms and marine energy converters in position when operating in deep waters. The projects also include research to reduce or avoid noise generation during the installation of fixed-bottom offshore wind energy foundations.
