• PRIMRE provides broad access to information on marine renewable energy (MRE) projects and technologies, engineering, resource characterization, device performance, and environmental effects.
• Lessons Learned Collected from the Marine Energy Sector
• The PRIMRE team has conducted 15 semi-structured interviews with U.S. marine energy subject matter experts (in 2020 and 2021). Among the interviewees, three were from academia, eight were from industry (six wave and two tidal developers), and four were from other groups (e.g., consultancies, test centers). Each interview was semi-structured, conversational, and included a blend of closed- and open-ended questions, including:
• What worked well/did not work well for the project or project team?
• Were there any impacts to the project’s timeline?
• Were changes in system or subsystem design necessary?
• What lessons did you learn that might/might not be applicable to other projects?
• The PRIMRE team conducted all interviews in accordance with the Institutional Review Board requirements for human subjects research. All direct identifiers were removed from interview transcripts by replacing the identifying text (i.e., participant name) with encrypted identifiers. The team then used a spreadsheet to compile de-identified interviewee information and the data collected from each interview (i.e., interviewee’s insights organized into distinct quotes).

• Tethys
• Tethys, named after the Greek titaness of the sea, was developed in 2009 by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to support the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office and Water Power Technologies Office. The primary functions of Tethys are twofold:
• To facilitate the exchange of information and data on the environmental effects of marine and wind energy technologies; and
• To serve as a commons for marine and wind energy practitioners and therefore enhance the connectedness of the renewable energy community as a whole.
• The growing body of content in Tethys is actively collected and curated by researchers at PNNL from a variety of sources. Members of the community are also encouraged to contribute to Tethys by identifying documents not yet in the collection.
• Risk Retirement
• Risk retirement is a term used loosely by the marine renewable energy (MRE) community to describe a means of simplifying consenting processes for single or small numbers of devices by focusing on key issues of concern. Risks that are unlikely to cause harm to marine animals or habitats can be “retired” so that extensive investigations at every new MRE project are not required. Rather, MRE developers and regulators may rely on what is known from already consented projects, from related research studies, or from findings from analogous offshore industries.
• Risk retirement does not take the place of any existing regulatory processes, nor does it completely replace the need for all data collection before and after MRE device deployment; these data are needed to verify risk retirement findings and add to the overall knowledge base. When larger arrays of MRE devices are planned, or when new information comes to light, these risks can be revisited and new decisions about the level of risk down-scoping or retirement can be made.
• Monitoring Datasets Discoverability Matrix
• The monitoring datasets discoverability matrix (matrix) is an interactive tool that classifies monitoring datasets from already consented (or permitted) marine renewable energy (MRE) projects and research studies for six key environmental stressors. The goal of the matrix is to allow regulators, developers, and the larger marine renewable energy community to easily discover datasets from already consented projects that can be used to aid consenting processes for future MRE projects (see data transferability page for more information).
• Management Measures Tool for Marine Energy
• The Management Measures Tool for Marine Energy shows management (or mitigation) measures from past or current MRE projects as a reference to help manage potential risks from future projects and allow them to move forward in the face of uncertainty, or until a risk can be retired. Additional management measures are regularly added by the OES-Environmental team. In addition to the searchable tool below, the information can be downloaded here. The download file includes additional details not shown below, including comments from stakeholders on past experience, cost of management measures, and when a management measure is needed.
• Regulatory Frameworks for Marine Renewable Energy
• The following information on regulatory frameworks is intended to provide an overview of country-specific requirements for environmental review and permitting (consenting) of marine renewable energy devices (specifically wave and tidal). This information is intended for general purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion. It does not represent a complete record of the regulatory requirements for a given country, nor is it correct to assume that all the authorizations necessarily apply to all marine renewable energy projects.
• Wind Energy Monitoring and Mitigation Technologies Tool
• As part of its mission to support the global deployment of wind energy through a better understanding of environmental issues, WREN has created a free, online tool to catalog monitoring and mitigating technologies developed to assess and reduce potential wildlife impacts resulting from land-based and offshore wind energy development. WREN will continuously maintain and update the research status of technologies to ensure the international community has access to current, publicly available information on monitoring and mitigation solutions, their state of development, and related research on their effectiveness.

• In 2021, the Biden administration announced efforts to reach 30 GW of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Vision Report quantified the benefits from up to 22 gigawatts of installed offshore wind by 2030 and 86 gigawatts by 2050. In fact, the Wind Vision scenarios show that by 2050, offshore wind energy could be available in all coastal regions nationwide.
• Despite the fact that projects planned for U.S. waters often face unique planning, siting, and permitting challenges, interest in developing offshore wind energy exists in coastal areas because of the proximity of offshore wind resources to population centers, the potential for local economic development benefits, and superior wind resources.
• Included resources provide additional information about offshore, utility-scale wind energy.
• Land-Based Wind Energy
• The United States has vast resources of land-based, utility-scale wind energy. As of December 2021, the United States has an installed capacity of about 136 gigawatts (GW) of land-based wind energy, which is enough to power 29 million American homes each year. However, according to estimates based on current wind turbine technologyPDF, the country has more than 10,000 GW of potential wind energy at 80-meter hub heights.
• In addition, the Energy Department report Enabling Wind Power Nationwide finds that taller wind turbine towers of 110 and 140 meters with larger rotors can more efficiently capture the stronger and more consistent wind found at greater heights, compared with 80-meter wind turbine towers typically installed today.
• Included resources provide additional information about land-based, utility-scale wind.
• Community Impacts of Wind Energy
• Neighbors of existing or proposed wind projects may have questions about the turbines or development. Topics of potential concern include sound; shadow flicker; radar, TV, and radio signal interference; and impacts to other uses or industries. Before making decisions regarding whether a wind project installation is appropriate in a given location, it is important to assess these potential impacts. A properly sited wind project can coexist within the community with minimal intrusion.
• Siting issues are typically addressed during the planning process, during which the developer uses computerized tools and experience gained from the more than 71,000 wind turbines installed in the United States to evaluate impacts relative to the site and the surrounding community. The siting process, including detailed community dialogue, should identify measures that may be required to minimize or mitigate any problems identified. Although the potential impacts will vary by project, WINDExchange provides credible information for landowners, community decision-makers, and the interested public about siting topics.
• Current News and Events
• Find the latest news and events about wind energy technologies from WINDExchange presented as webinars, events, news articles, success stories, lessons learned, and podcasts.
• Wildlife Impacts of Wind Energy
• As with all energy projects, wildlife impacts from wind project development vary by location. The wind industry incorporates pre- and post-development studies, educated siting, and other impact reduction tools to decrease wildlife impacts.
• Research shows that wind projects actually rank near the bottom of the list of developments that negatively impact wildlife and the environment. In fact, the Audubon Society strongly supports properly sited wind power as a renewable energy source that helps reduce the threat posed to birds and people by climate change.
• For wind energy to continue to be a sustainable resource, it is vital that wind power projects are appropriately and responsibly sited, which includes the protection of wildlife and their habitat. Industry, government agencies, and wildlife advocates come together in various ways to collaborate on these issues.
