The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO), in collaboration with ConnectWerx, the Partnership Intermediary under a newly established Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA), has opened an initial funding opportunity for a specialized, independent consultant or academic entity to lead a consortium of technical experts that identifies standardized offshore wind transmission equipment specifications and mesh-ready design to support coordinated procurement in the United States. The consortium will work together to support near-term state offshore wind solicitations and potential shared transmission solutions.

Purpose: The Office Hours session will provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx. ConnectWerx recommends starting an application and utilizing the Office Hours for specific clarifications on the application or submissions processes.
