This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) provides $812,371 to Rcam Technologies Inc. (doing business as Sperra) to develop, test, and demonstrate a commercially viable jack-up canal solar platform prototype. The project aims to ensure the prototype meets quality assurance standards, validate its economic feasibility through updated levelized cost of energy (LCOE) analysis, and secure stakeholder commitments for pilot-scale deployment and future market adoption. Key expected outcomes include successfully developing and testing the prototype, achieving design, analysis, and stakeholder engagement milestones, and establishing a solid foundation for commercialization by securing interest from potential pilot sites and defining a clear path for future deployment. The project will also effectively integrate DEIA goals, intern programs, and risk mitigation plans, demonstrating a holistic approach and readiness for full-scale implementation. The award period is from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025.
