The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Oregon State University (OSU) to advance development of the Pacific Marine Energy Center South Energy Test Site (previously PMEC-SETS, now referred to as PacWave), a proposed open-ocean, grid-connected wave energy conversion device (WEC) testing center. Proposed activities would include siting and design of the proposed facility, development of operational plans, obtaining state and federal permits, development of bid packages for major elements of the project, and construction and certification of the proposed PacWave facility.
