Sample Topics

Access in Energy

How can we empower and engage underserved groups in the energy sector, and inspire students from all socioeconomic groups to pursue STEM and energy careers? Projects showcase effective strategies to support increased access to good-paying careers in the energy industry, and to deliver clean energy solutions to underserved communities. Projects may also address inclusion of economically disadvantaged communities in the energy transition.
  • Energy Careers and Workforce Development
  • Energy Projects for Underserved Communities

 

Sustainability   Amidst Growing Energy Needs

 

As global energy consumption rises, the quest for sustainable solutions becomes increasingly critical. Innovations in electrification, transportation and artificial intelligence are poised to revolutionize energy usage in homes and communities and can help address climate change. Projects show the enhancement of existing products or new technologies for a cleaner energy future, and how we can pave the way for a more sustainable world through decarbonization and energy-efficient choices.  Projects may also showcase artificial intelligence as a pivotal ally in both pioneering new advancements and refining existing technologies.

  • Electric Vehicles
  • Clean Energy Choices
  • Carbon Capture
  • Smart Home Technology Adoption Programs
  • Smart Home Energy Improvements
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Home Energy Data
  • Artificial Intelligence Aided Technology

Nuclear Technology & Clean Energy

How can we harness the power of nuclear technology and other forms of emissions-free generation to address climate change, using innovative and cutting-edge solutions, such as advanced nuclear, emissions-free energy generation systems, and smart energy storage devices? Projects should show how they can create positive impacts for society, economy, and environment, and how they can collaborate with various stakeholders, such as businesses, schools, governments, and communities, to scale up their solutions and pilot programs.

  • Emissions-Free Energy, 
  • Clean Energy Sources & Technologies
  • Energy Advocacy
  • Sustainability
  • Program Design
  • Waste to Energy
  • Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology
  • Scalable technology (micro hydro generation, etc.)
  • Onsite Generation & Storage
  • Nuclear Fusion
  • Nuclear Fission
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Fuel Cells

 

Eligibility

  • Grant awards are up to $25,000 for grades 6-12 and up to $50,000 for colleges and universities
  • Preference will be given to projects with a clear connection to our Clean Energy Center communities, customers, or have active employee engagement
  • Returning awardees may reapply if all prior grant requirements are completed
