Offshore Wind Data Project To Seek Industry Partner
With a $1.4 million DOE grant in hand and a request for a $2.0 million MPSC grant pending, Grand Valley State University is preparing to issue a Request for Proposal for a Lake Michigan offshore meteorological tower and research platform. The RFP will be seeking a partner ready to contribute the additional resources needed and take responsibility for siting, designing, and constructing the project. It is expected that the site selected for the project will be favorably suited for a future utility scale wind energy project.
