POWER-US

In 2016, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) funded a group of its academic and research institutions (the Massachusetts Research Partnership – MRP) to convene a series of workshops on offshore wind energy research, and to use the findings from these workshops to draft a research agenda.

Researchers from across the nation and around the globe participated in these workshops, and it quickly became evident that a broad group of researchers were interested in working together to advance innovation in offshore wind energy. This network of researchers, and their laboratory research assets (physical and computational), named itself the "Partnership for Offshore Wind Energy Research (POWER-US)."
