The energy industry in Indiana, consisting of utilities, third-party power producers, academic institutions, research labs, regulatory agencies, and subject-matter experts, among others, are continuously developing new and improved energy technologies. Much of this effort is dedicated to exploring opportunities for consumers, understanding preferences, usage patterns, and lifestyle needs at homes and businesses. For example, plug-in electric vehicles can potentially sell power back to the grid at peak times to relieve the demand for new generating units. Advanced technologies help strengthen the power grid and keep energy affordable for all. To learn more about energy innovation, please visit https://www.energy.gov/science-innovation.
