How We Succeed

EPRI works at the crux of the energy transformation – alongside industry, academia, and government – to better equip society to tackle the energy challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow. Structured collaboration is fundamental to EPRI’s success, and our scientists and engineers partner with hundreds of leaders from government, universities, national labs and environmental groups to develop and conduct our research, deliver results, and apply the findings.

Working across sectors with guidance from a comprehensive advisory structure ensures the scientific rigor and scalability of our work as well as the clear public benefit.

EPRI also serves as the host of the U.S. Member Committee of the World Energy Council, capitalizing on our collaborative tradition to see that community voices and needs are built into energy system solutions.
