In this year's offshore wind edition of the Wind Program Newsletter, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its partners want to share with you all of the groundbreaking work being conducted in the area of offshore wind. Two years ago, DOE allocated $43 million to fund a variety of offshore wind research projects, many of which are now releasing results, findings, and tools that can guide and inform the development of U.S. offshore wind projects. Some of these project results, such as the new GL Garrad Hassan Ports Readiness tool, are showcased in this newsletter, and more can be found in the new online repository for DOE-funded offshore wind project results. Others still will be shared and discussed during various panels at the annualAWEA Offshore WINDPOWER Conference & Exposition in Providence, Rhode Island.
The broader U.S. offshore wind industry is gaining momentum as well, exemplified by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management completing its second competitive offshore wind lease sale to Dominion Virginia Power in September. This closely followed the first offshore wind lease sale to Deepwater Wind New England LLC for two sites off the coasts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts in July.
Finally, DOE's Advanced Technology Demonstration project partners are all well underway in their work towards developing engineering, design, and permitting plans for their proposed offshore wind demonstration projects. AWEA Offshore WINDPOWER attendees will have the opportunity to get updates from these consortia firsthand during the closing session. Attendees can also stop by the Department of Energy's booth, #401, to learn more about these projects and many others. I look forward to seeing you all there.
With warm regards,
Jose Zaya

It is great to see that alternative energy sources like wind energy is gaining momentum these days. It is very important that well developed nations like the U.S. consider it a primary task. Because only then, developing nations like India and China will consider these projects. And the United States' DOE's office of providing free education and tips on these projects is really a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThe following link is from The Telegraph. It gives us new ideas on Offshore wind energy. The largest offshore wind energy is created in London and various such news are made available.

This article is about wind energy projects. It is important that these sources of energy should be conserved for the future. Countries like U.S.A are taking efforts to take these projects to the next level. Hopefully in the coming years powerful nations take up these projects to conserve wind energy.
ReplyDeleteThe project started by the U.S. Department of Energy shows some great results in the work being conducted on the area of offshore wind. The letter by the Wind Program Director Jose Zaya talks about the accomplishments and further works that are in progress.
ReplyDeleteThis article is about a project started by the U.S. Department of Energy and how U.S. is taking measures to conserve non renewable sources of energy. It's written by the Wind Program Director Jose Zaya who talks in the letter about various accomplishment by the Department of Energy and also about further tasks undertaken by the department.
ReplyDeleteThis talks about wind energy projects. there have been measures that have taken place in order to conserve non renewable sources of energy. This letter throws light at the accomplishments and the developments that are in process.
ReplyDeleteIts great to see countries like US moving towards renewable sources of energy.Great work has been accomplished by US Department of energy which would lead to more sustainable forms of producing energy.
ReplyDeleteThe article shows a wonderful remark in the field of energy. And Yes, these sources should be saved for future purposes. The concentration on the offshore wind is also a great work by the department. These projects come in effective for the future generations.
