Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable 
Energy intends to hold an External Merit Review in Washington, DC, on 
March 31 & April 1, 2015. The External Review Panel will review the 
current program planning and provide suggestion on the formulation of 
A2e strategy, goals and implementation approaches. The review panel 
will also assess the initiative's potential impact on the wind power 
industry and identify additional research initiatives and resources 
that might be required in the future.

DATES: DOE will hold the External Merit Review on Tuesday, March 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) is a multi-year Department of Energy 
(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. Better insight 
into the flow physics and resource forecasting has the potential to 
increase wind farm energy capture, reduce annual operational costs, and 
improve project financing. Achieving these objectives requires a 
diverse set of expertise and significant R&D resources. The Wind and 
Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) has selected subject matter 
experts from its national laboratories at NREL, SNL, and PNNL to assist 
in the integrated program planning for the initiative based on DOE 
investments in world class computational and testing facilities as well 
as core expertise in topics critical to the success of the A2e 
initiative available at these laboratories. These national laboratories 
are engaging the wider wind energy stakeholder community (e.g., 
industry, other national labs, other government agencies, universities, 
international partners) to develop a multi-year strategic plan that 
addresses wind plant performance under the A2e initiative.

Public Participation

    The event is open to the public based upon space availability. 
After the meeting has concluded DOE will also accept public comments on 
the meeting summary as described above for purposes of developing the 
A2e portfolio, but will not respond individually to comments received.
    Participants should limit information and comments to those based 
on personal experience, individual advice, information, or facts 
regarding this topic. It is not the object of this session to obtain 
any group position or consensus from the meeting participants. To most 
effectively use the limited time, please refrain from passing judgment 
on another participant's recommendations or advice, and instead, 
concentrate on your individual experiences.

Information on Services for Individuals With Disabilities

    Individuals requiring special accommodations at the meeting, please
