Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents new opportunities to radically accelerate the speed at which we can build infrastructure by bringing new capabilities to complex review, siting, and permitting processes. Siting and permitting challenges can significantly reduce deployment potential. For example, the National Renewable Energy Lab found that geothermal energy deployment is reduced by as much as […]

Since 2020, the private sector has announced over $980 billion in investments to construct new manufacturing and clean energy developments in the US, catalyzed by over $630 billion in public support through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science […]

Before renewable generation can be connected to the grid, these supply resources must undergo a series of grid impact studies before they can be built. This process – called the interconnection queue -- has become a key bottleneck in the deployment of clean energy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address these long-standing delays […]

Where will the components we need to maintain, repair, and build out our transmission and distribution systems come from- and will we have enough to keep the lights on and make progress on clean energy deployment? Although a robust and resilient grid is critical for maintaining a thriving energy sector, it has often been taken […]

The Department of Energy, led by the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) and the Loans Program Office (LPO), is catalyzing the development of America’s batteries supply chain. The combination of DOE investments and supportive policy from the Inflation Reduction Act has led to $180 billion of investment in the EV and Battery […]
