The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) has published its Multi-Year Program Plan, which outlines the Office’s research priorities and plans through the year 2025. With the objectives of reducing the cost of wind energy, enabling the integration of substantial amounts of wind energy into the evolving national energy system, and creating siting and environmental solutions to reduce environmental impacts, the Plan provides insight into DOE’s wind energy research priorities, and will guide planning and execution of future R&D activities. It is organized in six sections: offshore wind, land-based wind, distributed wind, systems integration, modeling and analysis, and crosscutting initiatives.

The purpose of this Multi-Year Program Plan is to set forth a rationale and strategy to assist research planning and execution. The plan is intended for use as a 5-year guide, encompassing the period from 2021 to 2025, but also includes goals for 2030 in keeping with the longer-term nature of research and technology development. The plan is organized around five research areas: offshore wind, land-based wind, distributed wind, systems integration, and modeling and analysis.
