PowerAdvocate to receive a DOE Stimulus Funding award
In order to meet the 20% Wind Energy scenario by 2030, significant investment will need to occur into the domestic wind supply chain. Currently, critical supply chain bottlenecks exist for key components such as gearboxes, structural metal, and inverters. The transmission interconnection, as well, is proving to be challenging as companies are currently struggling to meet existing demand.
As the market drives forward to meet the vision of a broader base of domestic wind energy, one of the key, underdeveloped resources will be the wind turbine supply chain. The ability for utilities, state and federal governments, developers, contractors, and suppliers to navigate these supply hurdles will help to determine the success with which America re-powers around wind energy.
PowerAdvocate has announced that it has been selected to receive a DOE Stimulus Funding award to support the “20% Wind Energy by 2030” initiative. PowerAdvocate will specifically concentrate on overcoming supply chain obstacles to Wind Power.
Through the PowerAdvocate Energy Intelligence Platform and expertise, decision makers across the energy value chain are empowered to overcome existing constraints in the supply chain, prepare for development of new capital wind projects, and expedite their U.S. Wind development efforts.
