The Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) Peer Review Report summarizes the findings from a 2017 peer review held in Arlington, Virginia, with nearly 300 representatives from our national laboratories, academic institutions, and other stakeholders.
The review evaluated projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2016 for their contribution to the mission and goals of the office, assessed progress against stated objectives, and appraised WETO’s overall management and performance.
