The US Department of Energy (DOE) is requesting public input on the scope of an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 12MW New England Aqua Ventus I floating offshore wind demonstration project in the Gulf of Maine, being developed by the University of Maine.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has implemented a loan program to lend its LiDAR buoys to qualified parties to acquire wind resource characterization data in areas of interest for offshore wind energy development. DOE currently owns two AXYS WindSentinel buoys that collect meteorological and oceanographic data to support resource characterization for offshore wind energy. In […]

At a nomination hearing held by the US Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources yesterday, Rick Perry, who has been chosen by the newly-elected US president Donald Trump to lead the Department of Energy (DoE), reflected on his statement made several years ago that led to concerns on him being in charge of DoE.  Namely, with […]

The US Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) has added new application deadlines for its current Title XVII loan guarantee solicitations, which aim to accelerate the deployment of innovative clean energy technology. The next Part I application deadline is now scheduled for 18 January, 2017. The extension of the effective period for LPO’s Paperwork Reduction […]

UK participants of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme can rest assured that the approved projects applied for before the UK leaves the European Union will not be affected by the so-called Brexit, as the UK Treasury will underwrite funding for those Horizon 2020 projects. British businesses and universities will have certainty over future funding and should continue […]

Even though Vattenfall yesterday informed it made a final investment decision to build the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC), this did not mark an end of the fight against the project for Donald Trump, whose company Trump International Golf Links said it will file “formal written objections” in an effort to stop the project's construction.  Trump plans to start another […]

With the UK referendum result to leave the European Union, along came reactions discussing effects of the country's move, including those from the offshore wind sector, where the UK is at the forefront. According to BVG Associates' Director, Bruce Valpy, the implications for the UK as a whole will be known after the exit negations, which could take at least […]

United States Senators from the State of New Jersey, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, have responded to the Department of Energy's (DOE) announcement on Fishermen’s Energy Atlantic City Wind Farm (FACW).
