archived

The purpose of this modification is to extend the deadline for response to this RFI to 7/2/2015, 5:00PM ET. Complete information, including the full RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. The Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gain public input regarding the implementation of the 2011 report, A National Offshore Wind Strategy: Creating an Offshore Wind Energy Industry in the United States, and key challenges currently facing the offshore wind energy community in the United States. Information sought under this RFI is intended to assist the WWPTO in its strategic approach to pursing the paths forward presented in the 2015 Wind Vision: A New Era for Wind Power in the United States report. WWPTO seeks input from any stakeholders in the broader U.S. offshore wind energy community. Feedback is solicited from stakeholders in the offshore wind energy community on issues related to the Wind and Water Power Technology Office’s strategic approach to facilitating the development of offshore wind energy in the United States. Specifically the WWPTO seeks to better understand the relative value of Technology Advancement, Market Barrier Removal, and Crosscutting Activities as well as a broader strategic view of the WWPTO portfolio. To maintain continuity with prior efforts, the RFI references projects carried out subsequent to the National Offshore Wind Strategy, as well as actions recommended in the Wind Vision Report.
