Transforming Energy

For more than 45 years, NREL's world-class research staff has devised solutions to transform the way we generate, consume, store, and distribute energy. Now, and in the years ahead, our work is more important than ever. As the population grows, particularly in urban centers, and amid the threat of climate change, we need more sustainable, efficient, and equitable ways of meeting the world's energy needs. Integrating new technologies and ever more devices into the grid requires us to examine their effects and enhance resilience and security within our most critical systems. NREL continues to anticipate these challenges, offering solutions through research, innovation, deployment, analysis, partners, and people. We are building the foundation of tomorrow's energy landscape and inspiring the economic growth of the future.
