About this file
This special notice announces the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's intent to release a request for proposal in early 2024 under the Distributed Wind Competitiveness Improvement Project. The goals of the project are to make wind energy cost competitive with other distributed energy resources, improve interoperability, increase the number of certified wind turbine designs, and support commercialization and deployment. The request for proposal will provide firm fixed price subcontracts with price participation and technical support to innovated optimized wind turbine designs, develop advanced manufacturing processes, conduct turbine testing and certification, and commercialize distributed wind technology. Eligible offerors must be incorporated in the United States, demonstrate technical capabilities, and provide financial information. Work will generally take place in the United States unless otherwise justified. Interested parties can access additional details on the project website or contact the listed email to receive direct notification of the request for proposal release.

Special Notice: Distributed Wind Competitiveness Improvement Project November 15, 2023
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory intends to release a request for proposal (RFP) under the Competitiveness Improvement Project (CIP) to support continued innovation in small to mid-scale distributed wind energy systems in early 2024. The CIP awards firm fixed price subcontracts with price participation and technical support via a competitive process to: (1) innovate optimized designs for increased energy production, grid support, and lower costs, (2) develop advanced manufacturing processes, (3) conduct turbine and component testing and certification, and (4) commercialize distributed wind technology and develop pathways for accelerated deployment.
The CIP is specifically designed to support small businesses in multiple phases of the product development cycle—from prototype design through a certified and commercialized unit, including supporting innovation of existing products. The goals of the CIP are to make wind energy cost competitive with other distributed energy resources, improve interoperability with other distributed energy resources, increase the number of wind turbine designs certified to national testing standards, and support product commercialization and deployment.
The RFP planned for 2024 will include price participation/cost-share requirements. Offerors must provide evidence of incorporation in the United States, demonstrate strong team skills and capabilities, and provide financial information. Work funded under this effort is expected to take place in the United States and/or U.S. territories unless otherwise justified.
