Fourteen projects will support durable and environmentally responsible U.S. offshore wind energy and marine energy deployments

Newly integrated program supported by DOE will help local governments expand distributed solar and wind energy, as well as electric vehicle charging

Six teams were selected for creating cost-effective recycling technologies that will increase the sustainability of U.S. wind energy systems.

The wind energy workforce is made up of a wide range of people and skills. Learn about the career journey of PNNL lab program manager Alicia Mahon.

Six projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act will help improve planning, siting, and permitting for large-scale renewable energy and storage. DOE also launched a prize to advance the co-location of solar energy production and cattle grazing.

Three reports highlight industry development, expansion, and the policies and incentives driving wind energy forward.

Learn how wind energy can provide health and climate benefits that outweigh its costs.

In 2022 alone, wind and solar generation provided climate and health benefits valued at 14.3¢/kWh and 10.0¢/kWh, respectively, and helped prevent 1,200 to 1,600 premature deaths in the United States.

The Wind Energy Technologies Office is exploring the relationship between wildlife and wind turbines.

While studying mechanical engineering at the University of Texas in Austin, Paquette became interested in structural components and composite materials. Although he originally planned to pursue work in the aerospace industry, he jumped at the opportunity to work at Sandia on wind turbine blades—the largest composite structures in the world.
