U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, Sen. Chris Coons and Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (all D-Del.) recently announced an award of $2,970,353 from the U.S. Department of Energy to the University of Delaware. Made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this funding will support research and development to innovate manufacturing processes for wind and water technologies, and accelerate the equitable and sustainable deployment of offshore and land-based wind energy.
“Wind energy is critical in our transition to an economy that runs on American-made clean energy,” said Carper, who chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. “Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the University of Delaware will be able to explore better ways to develop and manufacture blades for wind turbines, helping keep the First State at the forefront of clean energy manufacturing and innovation.”
“The University of Delaware’s wind turbine manufacturing research and development is positioning Delaware at the forefront of our clean energy future, and these new funds will only continue that success. I’m glad to see President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continuing to deliver for Delawareans and helping to create a cleaner, brighter future,” said Coons.
