The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) will host its 2025 Peer Review in January and February 2025. The Hydropower Program review is scheduled for Jan. 27–31, 2025, and the Marine Energy Program review is planned for Feb. 10–14, 2025. Registration will be available in fall 2024.
The purpose of the Peer Review is to evaluate projects funded by WPTO based on their contribution to the office’s mission and goals, track progress made against stated objectives, and assess the office's overall management and performance. Results from the Peer Review process are used to inform programmatic decision making; enhance active project management; and modify or expand existing projects. The Peer Review process enables external stakeholders to provide feedback on the most impactful use of taxpayer funding and develop recommendations for the most efficient and effective ways to accelerate industry development in water power technologies.
