DOE Seeks Partners to Expand Wind for Schools Activities

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) today announced a Request for Proposals to expand Wind Powering America’s Wind for Schools activities to an additional three to six states. The Wind for Schools project helps address the wind industry’s need for a skilled workforce to support the expanded development and application of wind technologies by supporting wind energy educational programs at universities and in primary and secondary schools.

This opportunity provides universities, state institutions, and nongovernmental organizations funding and technical support to develop educational programs to improve the understanding of wind technology and its implementation using the successful Wind for Schools model.
