About WINDExchange
WINDExchange is the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Program's platform for disseminating credible information about wind energy. The purpose of WINDExchange is to help communities weigh the benefits and costs of wind energy, understand the deployment process, and make wind development decisions supported by the best available information.
On March 11, 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced six Wind Energy Regional Resource Centers that were selected through a competitive process administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The Northeast Wind Resource Center
The Northeast Wind Resource Center (NWRC) is the regional epicenter for salient, unbiased information on land-based and offshore wind energy in the Northeastern United States. Published research, studies, and analyses associated with the issues impacting public acceptance of wind deployment are available in the NWRC Resource Library.
The NWRC is supported in part by a grant from the US Department of Energy, and is managed by Clean Energy Group and Sustainable Energy Advantage. The Maine Ocean & Wind Industry Initiative serves as key liaison to the wind industry.

Project development activities since 1996
20 years of experience and
1,500 employees in Renewable Energy
Experience from more than
2,000 suction buckets installed world-wide!
Universal Foundation - Suction installation process
1. The suction pump unit is attached to the foundation
2. The foundation is lowered to the seabed
3. Deadweight and gravity ensures self-penetration into the seabed
4. The pump unit enables under-pressure inside the bucket and a water-pulse
alongside the skirt tip ensure local seabed liquefaction – the combination ensures
soil penetration
5. Verticality is controlled to reach required inclination tolerance (+/- 0,25 degrees -
+/- 0,1 degrees achieved in real life average so far)
6. The suction pump unit is recovered
