Opportunities at the Interface of Wind Turbines and Radar Technology
AGENCY: Office Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Wind Energy
Technologies Office, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Request for information (RFI).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on
its request for information (RFI) number DE-FOA-0003166 regarding
mitigation strategies for the technical and operational effects of wind
turbines on critical radar missions, as required by the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
(BIL).
DATES: Responses to the RFI must be received by January 12, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Comments to the RFI must be provided in writing. Interested
parties are to submit their written comments electronically to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, on behalf of the Wind Energy Technologies Office and
in collaboration with the Wind Turbine-Radar Interference Mitigation
(WTRIM) Working Group, issued this RFI to seek public input to help
inform DOE's implementation of the BIL. The WTRIM Working Group has
been working to identify and develop the means to mitigate the
technical and operational effects of wind turbines on critical radar
missions. This RFI represents the latest effort by the WTRIM Working
Group to better understand the challenges wind developers are facing
regarding radar interference and to determine the capability of the
marketplace to find solutions that mitigate the impact of wind turbine
interference on existing and future radar systems.
Specific questions can be found in the RFI. The RFI DE-FOA-0003166
is available at: <a href="https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/">https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/</a>.
Confidential Business Information: Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any
person submitting information that he or she believes to be
confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via
email two well-marked copies: one copy of the document marked

with the information believed to be confidential deleted. Submit these
documents via email. DOE will make its own determination about the
confidential status of the information and treat it according to its
determination.
Signing Authority: This document of the Department of Energy was
signed on November 6, 2023, by Dr. Becca Jones-Albertus, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Renewable Energy, pursuant to delegated

signature and date is maintained by DOE. For administrative purposes
only, and in compliance with requirements of the Office of the Federal
Register, the undersigned DOE Federal Register Liaison Officer has been
authorized to sign and submit the document in electronic format for
publication, as an official document of the Department of Energy. This
administrative process in no way alters the legal effect of this
