Submissions to the Beyond the Meter: Energy Storage Integration Prize are due Dec. 12 by 5 p.m. ET. We encourage companies and coalitions that want to integrate with other grid-edge technologies to start prepping their applications now! 

 

 

Each competitor should read the official rules before submitting their application. Reviewing the rules will give you full details on what to include in an eligible submission. Up to two winners will be selected for demonstrating their behind-the-meter grid-edge technology, highlighting a plan to collaborate with other grid vendors, and outlining how they'll participate in DISTRIBUTECH

Why DISTRIBUTECH?  

DISTRIBUTECH creates a space to network with other players in the electric grid at the largest, most influential energy transmission and distribution even in the country. Having the opportunity to showcase a solution at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity booth will enable winners to market their product to thousands of potential partners (and customers).   

In addition to networking opportunities, up to two winners will win $100,000 each, of which, $50,000 will be distributed after the announcement of winners and $50,000 after their attendance and participation at DISTRIBUTECH, which takes place in Dallas, Texas, on March 24-27, 2025. 

If you haven’t already watched the informational webinar, be sure to check it out for more information about the prize.  

If you have any questions about the prize, you can find answers in the official rules or by emailing us directly at electricity.prize@nrel.gov. Best of luck!
