Mission-critical commercial and military applications have extremely high uptime requirements and tight deployment space constraints. Advanced small nuclear reactors, packaged as compact units and deployed in microgrids, present a tantalizing option to meet these constraints and advance many of our nation’s priorities.

Microgrids offer a promising solution to enable the fast, reliable, and affordable build-out of data centers with shorter timelines relative to distribution/transmission grid expansion.

Microgrids have emerged as a promising part of the solution to the challenges of increasing electricity costs, power outages and increasing loads.

The power grid needs innovative ways to add additional energy production and control capabilities to the power system. The Office of Electricity is advancing one such approach with microgrid systems.

Tommy Jones, Ph.D., serves the Office of Indian Energy as a Tribal Affairs Specialist and supports much of the Office’s and DOE’s engagement with Tribes.

37 homes at The Medley at Southshore Bay in Tampa kept the lights on during Hurricane Ian in Florida. Their resilience was bolstered by a microgrid.

Four key priorities set to guide the Office of Indian Energy's work and impact across Indian Country.

As artificial intelligence (AI) expands rapidly, large-scale data centers are becoming one of the largest and most dynamic classes of new electric loads. Unlike regular data centers with relatively constant demands for power, AI training centers use thousands of specialized computer chips that work together in tightly coordinated cycles.

Looking back on a transformative 12 months of progress since President Trump's executive orders on nuclear energy.
