Electricity and grid systems
The global electricity sector produces more GHG emissions than any other sector and it is slated to grow rapidly to supply currently underserved populations and to replace fossil fuel-powered vehicles, appliances, and industrial processes with electric options. While solar and wind power are scaling quickly, the sector is not on track to meet global climate goals and future demand. Solutions are needed across global electricity systems, including generation, transmission and distribution; operation and optimization; storage; policy, regulation and governance; markets, and business models.

Projects
Projects in the electricity and grid cohort encompass a diverse range of technology and policy approaches, showcasing advancements in photovoltaic manufacturing, grid optimization, battery development, microgrid expansion, and utility strategies for wildfire mitigation. The expectation is that these projects will accelerate progress toward zero-GHG, reliable, and affordable electricity for all.
