The Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) is now accepting applications for the next cohort in its “Incubatenergy® Labs Challenge.”

The program connects leading start-up companies with electric power utilities from around the world with the focus being on the opportunity to propose innovative solutions to the most challenging issues facing the electric power industry.
