Energy Department and Federal Partners Announce up to $14.5 Million for Offshore Wind Environmental Research
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $14.5 million for environmental research to support U.S. offshore wind development. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support regionally-focused, coordinated research efforts to increase understanding of the environmental impacts of offshore wind, as well as projects that advance and validate tools to monitor and minimize impacts. This research will help address challenges to offshore wind development on both the east and west coasts of the United States, said Daniel R Simmons, Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. These projects will develop the knowledge and tools we need to support environmentally sound development of this valuable energy resource.

After losing out on an early opportunity to build New York state s biggest battery, the owner of New York City s biggest power plant is taking steps to import renewable electricity generated upstate.
The Ravenswood Generating Station is undergoing a strategic shift to carry out the transition to clean energy called for by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York legislature. The 57-year-old power plant contributes one-fifth of the city s generation capacity and played a crucial role in supplying power when Superstorm Sandy swamped the region. The owners want to maintain that leadership position but make the power differently.
The company that owns Ravenswood rebranded itself Thursday as Rise Light & Power, and it will not be building any new fossil-fueled generation, CEO Clint Plummer told Greentech Media.
