The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU is offering a grant to a partner for research focused on the benefits of repowering in southern California. The study aims to assess the advantages of replacing smaller, less efficient turbines with larger, more efficient ones to mitigate environmental impacts of electricity generation. By exploring the transition to more sustainable energy practices, the research seeks to address habitat conservation and reduce costs for ratepayers in developing renewable energy facilities. Application deadline is April 5, 2018.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to for research designed to provide information regarding expected advantage of repowering, i.e., replacing smaller, less efficient and potentially more harmful turbines with larger, more efficient and potentially less harmful turbines in southern California. Electricity generation has environmental impacts. This is even the case for renewable forms of energy â¿¿ wind, solar, and geothermal. For example, wind and solar energy generation can both injure or kill large numbers of birds or bats and they can reduce habitat quantity and quality for these same species. Environmental costs such as these are a problem for ratepayers because they increase the challenges to permitting, developing and operating a renewable energy facility, which increases costs to ratepayers. |
