Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy’s Post

Innovation drives progress, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Electricity (OE) is at the forefront, fostering change through innovative prize initiatives. By awarding prizes to industry leaders, OE encourages out-of-the-box thinking and advances in the energy sector, all while responsibly managing taxpayer funds. One standout example is the American-Made Digitizing Utilities Prize, where OE awarded three teams $1.1 million in September 2023. This prize connected utilities with interdisciplinary teams to transform digital systems in the energy sector, leading to improved reliability, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency, benefiting anyone who uses electricity. OE's innovative prizes, like the Energy Storage Innovations Prize and Silicon Carbide Packaging Prize, are driving impactful change and saving taxpayer dollars.
