The ConCord Initiative is a Grid Deployment Office initiative led by PNNL to investigate the full range of public benefits enabled through corridor investments.

PNNL administers two research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy that allows collection of wind meteorological and oceanographic data off the nation's coasts.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory conducted a two-year study to investigate the potential of floating offshore wind to help meet growing energy needs on the U.S. West Coast.
