Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is requesting information from developers, owners, and/or manufacturers of tidal or river current energy turbines (CETs) capable of deployment and operation in the tidal channel adjacent to PNNL-Sequim’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL). The information gained from this request for information (RFI) may inform the specification and eventual procurement of a CET, should PNNL decide to proceed with a procurement. The primary purpose for the CET would be to provide electricity via subsea cable to a microgrid on site as part of a potential demonstration project sponsored by the Washington State Department of Commerce. Responses to this RFI do not bind PNNL or any other party to any further action(s).
View the RFI for more information.
Responses are due 26 August 2022.
