Academic Center for Reliability and Resilience of Offshore Wind (ARROW)

Accelerates reliable and equitable offshore wind energy deployment across the nation and produces a well-educated domestic offshore wind workforce.

With the United States in need of increased energy independence and energy security, the Academic Center for Reliability and Resilience of Offshore Wind (ARROW) has been founded by the US Department of Energy, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the Maryland Energy Administration to educate the next generation of professional OSW workers and deliver innovations that reduce cost and increase benefits to consumers.  

ARROW emerged from a Congressionally mandated solicitation process overseen by DoE and is funded through 2027, with renewal through 2029 possible, and kicked off formal operations in January of 2025.  

ARROW’s lead institution UMass Amherst is joined by approximately 40 partners.
