The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is now accepting public comments on the meeting summary for The Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) Initiative within DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. DOE held an A2e External Merit Review in Washington, DC, on February 4-5, 2014.  The External Review Panel reviewed the current program planning and provided suggestions on the formulation of A2e strategy, goals and implementation approaches.

A2e is a multi-year DOE research initiative targeting significant reductions in the cost of wind energy through an improved understanding of the complex physics of the wind resource and interaction with wind farms.

The A2e External Merit Review meeting summary is available here. To submit a comment, contact Samantha Rooney (samantha.rooney@nrel.gov) and include “A2e External Merit Review” in the subject line of the message.
