For the Development of Wave Energy Projects in OregonPORTLAND, Oregon, May 21, 2010 – Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) announced today that it will provide a matching grant to any successful applicant to the Department of Energy’s recent Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), who performs a significant portion of their proposed DOE project in Oregon. The OWET matching grant will be equal to 20 percent of the DOE grant, up to $100,000.
The OWET matching grant program is intended to supplement the Department of Energy’s recent FOA (number DE-FOA-0000293), which has made up to $38,000,000 available over the next three years for marine hydrokinetic research and development. OWET hopes to improve the chances of Oregon’s homegrown wave industry, as well as attract companies from other parts of the country and world.
In total, $400,000 is available for the OWET matching grant program. Recipients will receive a commitment letter from OWET that the recipient can provide to the DOE. The OWET matching grant funds will be dependent upon the applicant successfully receiving an award from the DOE.
