Together...Shaping the Future of Electricity

Advancing safe,reliable, affordable,and environmentallyresponsible electricity forsociety through global
collaboration, thought
leadership, and science andtechnology innovation.

Key Aspects

Strategic Initiatives
Integrated Energy Network (IEN)

Thought Leadership

The IEN envisions a future in which customers
have flexibility to use, produce, and manage
energy as they choose, while improving accessto reliable, safe, affordable, and cleaner energy.
Three important areas of focus are using cleaner
energy through efficiency and electrification,
producing cleaner energy, and integrating energy
resources.

Think ahead and i­dentify issues, technology gaps, and broader needs that
affect the electricity sector.

Efficient Electrification
Launched by EPRI’s Board of Directors in 2017,
this three-year initiative focuses on broad benefits
to consumers, utilities, and society by exploring
development and deployment of higher-performance electric end uses to enhance othercommercial technologies and deliver new energy
services.
Artificial Intelligence
EPRI’s research on artificial intelligence (AI)supports the acceleration of AI applications
across the electric sector, connecting leading AI
providers, startups, universities, and researchgroups with utilities to develop training data sets
and support performance testing.
Resilience
EPRI’s Resilience Initiative is broadening energy
system resilience to consider customer andcommunity perspectives, and to support education, customer tools, and pilot projects. R&D
includes resilience initiatives and technologies
for communities—building on research in threat
assessment, mitigation, customer preferences andresource valuation.

About Us
The Electric Power Research Institute,Inc. (EPRI) conducts research and development relating to the generation, delivery, and use of electricity for the benefitof the public. An independent, nonprofitorganization, EPRI brings together its
scientists and engineers as well as
experts from academia and industry tohelp address challenges in electricity,including reliability, efficiency, affordability, health, safety, and the environment. EPRI also provides technology,
policy, and economic analyses to drive
long-range research and development
planning, supports research in emerging technologies, and uses objective
technology-based research and resulting insights, to inform policy makers
and regulators in areas related to an
integrated energy network.
EPRI members represent 90% of theelectricity generated and deliveredin the United States with international participation extending to 40countries. EPRI’s principal offices andlaboratories are located in Palo Alto,Calif.; Charlotte, N.C.; Knoxville,Tenn.; Dallas, Texas; Lenox, Mass.; andWashington, D.C.
