USDA Partnership, National Network, and Information Hub Support Timeliness of On-Site Wind Energy DeploymentIncreased reliability and affordability, combined with funding and incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, have given rise to an unprecedented opportunity for distributed wind energy deployment.
“The National Distributed Wind Network and Distributed Wind Energy Resource Hub will help a broad range of Americans understand and make use of the potential of distributed wind power,” said Suzanne MacDonald, an NREL wind researcher who led the creation of the network.Launched by NREL in partnership with PNNL, the National Distributed Wind Network is an inclusive convening place for U.S.
“WETO has made significant investments over the past 10 years to support research that has made distributed wind energy technology more reliable, cost competitive, and compatible with other sources of power,” MacDonald said. “The National Distributed Wind Network will allow us to highlight these improvements along with a range of informational resources and tools to help people understand the potential for distributed wind to add value locally.
