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 Objective Strategic Session (OSS) is an opportunity for potential performers and interested parties to learn more about PIA opportunities facilitated by ConnectWerx via webinar. DOE will provide an overview of the opportunity and additional details directly to OSS participants. OSS participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx.
