The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and Sandia National Laboratories are currently analyzing the testing needs that can be addressed by upgrades and expansions to marine energy testing infrastructure.
In that regard, the laboratories have launched a survey to understand what those needs are and will be, in order to help them prioritize testing and infrastructure upgrades and expansions to funnel U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) funding where it’s most needed.
