Proposals should focus on new solutions that remove barriers and address issues essential for cost reduction, deployment, and industry growth specific to offshore wind regions of the U.S. Proposals should demonstrate technology with high potential for replicability, providing a feasible path to commercialization that delivers benefits to multiple categories of end-users. The Consortium’s goal is to develop and demonstrate technology innovations that reduce LCOE for offshore wind in the U.S., remove risk and other barriers to implementation, and support the growth of U.S.-based offshore wind manufacturing and the supply chain.
