Notice of Request for Information (RFI) on National Offshore Wind Energy R&D Test Facilities

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on its Request for Information (RFI) regarding national-level test facilities for offshore wind-specific research and development. The Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) is seeking information on facilities that can conduct unique offshore wind research and development (R&D) in the U.S., what upgrades to existing facilities or new facilities are needed for the U.S. to be at the cutting edge of offshore wind R&D, and what specific tests and analyses could be carried out at existing, upgraded, or new facilities in order to advance the U.S. offshore wind industry.
