AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a Marine Energy Acceleration Fund at the Department of Energy and authorize $1 billion for it. The Department would hold competitions to fund at least 20 marine energy demonstration projects that send power to local or utility grids, along with research and development projects and facility upgrades. It would study the economic potential of marine energy at 50 or more sites and share the collected data publicly. A federal task force would report to Congress within one year on permitting barriers for marine energy projects, and the Department would assess workforce needs and start training programs.
