Use Our Labs

The ESIF was designed to be a connection point where industry, academia, and government can work together on the most complex and important global energy challenges of our time.

Within the safety of the laboratory, utilities and device manufacturers can evaluate how a new technology will perform under realistic operating conditions. This capability saves industry time, money, and resources, and consulting with NREL experts can help partners optimize designs to meet financial and operational goals.
