    Description

    The Department of Energy's Golden Field Office intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Oceans of Opportunity: U.S. Wave Energy Open Water Testing." This initiative aims to advance the commercial readiness of wave energy technologies through open water testing and system validation, aligning with the Biden administration's goals for achieving carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050. The FOA will focus on three topic areas: leveraging wave energy for distributed blue economy applications, developing technologies for coastal and island stakeholders, and maturing grid-connected technologies for reliable power generation. Interested applicants can find more information on the EERE Exchange website, with the application deadline set for August 31, 2024.
