The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the New York State Energy Research andDevelopment Authority (NYSERDA) to form a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) entity, the "National Offshore Wind Research andDevelopment Consortium" which would be led by NYSERDA, along with key industry stakeholders and researchinstitutions. The Consortium would finance research initiatives seeking to address the technical barriers faced byoffshore wind developers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and supply chain partners, with the goal ofreducing the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for U.S. offshore wind plants and increasing opportunities for U.S.manufacturing.
