National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium

We’re dedicated to managing industry-focused research and development of offshore wind to maximize economic benefits of the U.S.

The Consortium is a nationally focused, not-for-profit organization collaborating with industry on prioritized R&D activities to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind in the U.S. while maximizing other economic and social benefits.

Desired Impacts

  • Produce innovations that directly respond to the technical and supply chain barriers faced by offshore wind project developers in the U.S.
  • Build strong networks connecting technology innovators, investors, and industry
  • Increase U.S. content and job opportunities

The Consortium was initially funded with $41 million — $20.5 million from the Department of Energy (DOE) and a matching $20.5 million from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Additional contributions have been made by state members including; California, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia. Collectively, the existing funds have established the Consortium for a minimum of five years. The Consortium will continue to look for other appropriate funding and R&D opportunities to build upon its initial scope.

The Consortium’s R&D objectives are outlined in our Roadmap 4.0. This roadmap provides guidance for solicitations. Our various committees, including the Research and Development Advisory Group (RDAG), Research and Development Committee (R&DC), and State Action Network (SAN) are active and contributing to the Consortium’s mission.
