| The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has extended a commitment to collaboration in water power research and development with Norway's Royal Ministry of Energy. The extension of this previously established Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which facilitates planning and coordination activities between the two countries, will further the Trump Administration's efforts to reduce energy costs, strengthen grid reliability and security, and unleash American energy innovation as called for in President Trump's Executive Orders on energy and Secretary Wright's memorandum. "Strong partnerships drive innovation, and innovation strengthens America's energy future," said Energy Secretary Chris Wright. "Hydropower is a tremendous resource— one that supports reliable, affordable power across the country and holds vast potential to bolster America's grid. By signing this Memorandum of Understanding with Norway, we are building upon our two nations' shared expertise and advanced marine energy technologies to support President Trump's pro-growth energy agenda for the American people." "Hydropower and marine energy have potential to reduce energy costs and improve the resilience of our electric grid," said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Lou Hrkman. "Our collaboration with Norway—another country that is rich in water power resources—will help us expand our generation capacity, upgrade existing facilities, and cultivate the technical expertise we need to make the most of these opportunities." |
