Program Strategic Planning Meeting

The U.S. Department of Energy Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program convened its Strategic Planning Meeting on February 5 – 6, 2008. This meeting, which takes place every winter as part of the planning process for out-year funding, includes representatives from industry, research staff, and the program's peer review panel. Discussions are held on program direction and strategic planning to ensure that industry partners are able to provide timely and critical insight into market trends that the program should consider when developing the next year's research plan.

Portions of the presentations from the meeting focus on the initial findings of the 20% Wind Energy by 2030 report.
