The SEP Review Panel has 12 members. Two of the Panel members are the officers on APPA’s Energy Innovation committee. The other 10 Panel members are nominated by the chair of APPA's board.
Panel members serve two-year terms and can choose to serve up to three terms. When there is a vacancy on the Panel, a call for nominees is released. The Panel meets twice a year to score the SEP applications and conduct program business. The Panel’s three-member executive committee handles any items between Panel meetings.
