In February 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office held its Peer Review Meeting in Arlington, Virginia. The purpose of the meetings was to evaluate DOE-funded water power research and development projects for contributions to DOE’s mission and goals, and to assess progress made against stated objectives.

Peer Review Report
The Peer Review Report includes feedback on the office’s initiatives and investments across the nation. The report has been divided into two sections:
- Volume I includes sections 1–5 of the report: the executive summary, synopses of the program- and project-level evaluation results, and WPTO’s response to the 2017 Peer Review findings.
- Volume II includes sections 6 and 7—the complete program-level and project-level evaluation results—as well as the report appendices.
