Energy demand is rising fast, and AI is reshaping the landscape in ways we've never seen before. I spent yesterday in D.C. at the ARPA-E Innovation Summit, where I spoke alongside Levi Patterson and Dr Yury Dvorkin about how we can integrate data centers into the electric grid and narrow the gap between load growth and build.   National Grid Partners recently made a $100 million commitment to further invest in the AI startups advancing the future of energy. Our AI-powered portfolio will do everything from accelerating critical construction timelines to boosting transmission line capacity -- especially important work, as National Grid Ventures expands and modernizes transmission in the US. Thanks to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and ARPA-E for hosting this important discussion on utilizing AI to advance American-made energy.   National Grid NVIDIA #AI

That’s a wrap on the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit! Last week, we were in Washington, D.C. gathering with government partners, industry visionaries, scientists, and engineers driving forward cutting-edge energy technologies. Through our partnership with ARPA-E, we are able to leverage powerful government support to bring transformational innovations to market. A total of 35 Activate Fellows and alumni presented their energy breakthroughs at the ARPA-E Summit as speakers and exhibitors showcasing the powerful possibilities that can be achieved when our resources are combined. More highlights: 🎉 We gathered leaders, innovators, and visionaries in the energy community for a vibrant networking reception in partnership with IQT (In-Q-Tel) and DCVC. 🤝 Activate’s Jill Fuss spoke on a panel about diverse sources of capital. Hot tip: Startups should look to partner with corporates for more than just money—there is potential to leverage their expertise in areas such as product development, deployment, and scaling. 💡 Activate team members and fellows participated in an ARPA-E Technology-to-Market training that simulated various valleys of death and how to navigate them with a focus on long-term impact. It’s been a busy month of connecting and convening for Activate and our fellows, and the momentum continues! See you this week in Denver at National Renewable Energy Laboratory IGF or next month at SF Climate Week. #ARPAE2025 #EnergySummit

That’s a wrap! Our #AdvancedResearch team had a fantastic exhibit at this year’s #ARPA-E25 #Innovation Summit in Washington D.C! Over 50 attendees from Advanced Research, #GasPower, and #GridSolutions participated in the 3-day event, showcasing 10 unique programs across a range of technology helping to forge the future of energy. @Amy Linsebigler, Technology Director, joined a panel on “Re-Visioning Industrial Infrastructure.” At #GEVernova’s main booth, Advanced Research’s team demonstrated using #AI for grid resilience, showcasing potential for cost reduction and enhanced reliability. #ARPAE2025 #FutureOfEnergy

Today, Secretary Wright spoke to the leaders and innovators at the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit. ARPA-E and our National Labs help advance key technologic and scientific breakthroughs, driving innovation and powering better lives.
