Energy Department Invests $22M in Marine Energy Foundational R&D and Testing Infrastructure Today, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) announced 10 project selections totaling up to $22 million to support marine energy research and development (R&D) and testing infrastructure. Seven out of the 10 projects selected will leverage the expertise and intellectual capital of non-federal research institutions, like universities, by supporting foundational R&D to complement research at the DOE National Labs. "For industry to move toward commercialization, we need to utilize all of our available resources," said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Daniel R Simmons.
