Feeder of the Future Prize - Due Jan. 29

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) American Made Challenges, Office of Electricity Grant program offers grant opportunities for government agencies, nonprofit, and for-profit entities, IHEs, and individuals to design better grid system feeders and circuits.

This program is intended to spur innovation in the electricity grid to meet the changing energy needs of the 21st century. The Feeder of the Future Prize is a single-phase competition in which applicants design advanced distribution system feeders that address current and future energy challenges, including dynamic loads, onsite generation, and distributed devices.

The competition consists of three tracks — rural, suburban, and urban — to address the varying characteristics and necessities of power delivery for all U.S. consumers.
