Together ... Shaping the Future of Electricity

 2016 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AWARDS

These awards recognize the leaders and the innovators who have

applied EPRI research to produce significant results. The award winners

have shownexceptional application of EPRI research and technology in

solving a problem of size and significance, championing a technology

both within their companies and across the industry, driving progress

in the electricity sector, and providing meaningful benefits for its

stakeholders and for society.

The EPRI Technology Transfer Awards spotlight the value of collaborative

research to the electricity sector and its customers. EPRI recognizes and

applauds the hard work, commitment, and leadership demonstrated by

these award winners to help make electricity more reliable, efficient,

affordable, safe, and environmentally responsible.
