The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity (OE) launched the Storage Design Strategies to Ease Production (STEP) Prize, a new competition to help the next generation of energy storage technologies move more smoothly from concept to real-world manufacturing.

DOE report shows pressing need for more electric transmission infrastructure to power a reliable and secure grid.

OE launched the Storage Design Strategies to Ease Production (STEP) Prize, a $500k competition to accelerate next-gen energy storage technologies by addressing manufacturing and supply chain challenges early in the design process.

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.
