Through Incubatenergy Labs, EPRI and a group of leading utilities are engaging early stage companies to demonstrate and deploy innovative solutions in targeted areas. Incubatenergy Labs is your opportunity to get behind the scenes with a number of the largest electric utilities in the U.S.
We’ll select a number of companies from Pitch Day (March 14-17, 2022) to engage in paid demonstrations. There’s no set number of slots. It could be two, it could be the whole cohort. Last year, we chose twenty. For those demonstrations, we’re pushing ourselves to move fast and engage you as a group to facilitate the scale of promising approaches to modernize and decarbonize our grid, delight our customers, communities and workforce and build new business opportunities. We’ll spend six weeks scoping and contracting projects, sixteen weeks executing them and showcasing the results at a Demo Day event.
WHY INCUBATENERGY LABS
- Utility Exposure: Present and showcase to utilities and R&D experts from across the U.S.
- Paid Demonstrations: Compete for paid demonstrations with leading utilities in North & South America and Europe
- Rapid Execution: Scope demonstrations in 6 weeks, execute in 16
- Demonstrate with one, get traction with many: While companies generally engage a single utility in a demonstration, all participating utilities are involved in the demonstration scope, progress, and results.
Successful candidates will access data, gather insights, scope demonstration trials, and test their products/services in live customer environments.
