OREGON WAVE ENERGY TRUST OFFERS INDUSTRY MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM
For the Development of Wave Energy Projects in Oregon

PORTLAND, 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.

For more information about the Industry Matching Grant Program or to download a copy of the RFP, please visit the RFP page on our Web site. OWET encourages interested parties to contact OWET at info@oregonwave.org. The solicitation process is now open and closes June 7, 2010.

    Why support Oregon
    Wave Energy Trust?

    Wave energy is one key
    part of the comprehensive
    alternative energy
    solution for Oregon.
    And thanks to a
    combination of unique
    characteristics is
    the only source of
    energy where Oregon
    enjoys such a clear
    competitive advantage.
    As a result, Oregon’s
    wave energy industry
    provides myriad opportunities
    to deliver significant
    economic benefits to the state.

    Oregon Wave Energy
    Trust (OWET) works
    closely with our state-
    wide stakeholders:
    fishing and environmental
    groups, coastal
    communities and
    industry, government
    agencies and other
    partners in responsibly
    developing this new industry while
    establishing Oregon
    as the North American
    leader in wave energy.
    The work that we do
    is the real benefit we
    offer our members.
