Here’s a brief description:

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Electricity (OE) Electricity Industry Technology and Practices Innovation Challenge (EITPIC) aims to further technology advancement and utilization by identifying opportunities to utilize technology that will creatively transform current electric utility industry practice(s). The EITPIC Prize Competition will focus on developing technologies and/or solutions that can improve grid operations by addressing vulnerabilities; countering emergent threats; mitigating fuel delivery infrastructure interdependencies; enhancing grid reliability; or achieving greater system resilience. These technologies or practices address five key areas of interest of the nation’s electricity system:

·         Cyber and physical risk mitigation;
·         Operational efficiency;
·         Reliability and resiliency;
·         Facilitation of emergency response and recovery; and
Safety.

The Challenge offers up to $1M in total prizes for up to 25 winners.
