NREL Partner Forum

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2023 Partner Forum. More information about the 2024 event is coming soon!

An Annual Event

To better facilitate engagement with a range of partners from academia; industry; and city, state, and local government, NREL hosts an annual Partner Forum. Since 2017, the event has gathered energy thought leaders to:

  • Gain insight into our most pertinent energy challenges
  • Explore future energy innovation opportunities
  • Learn about the power of integrated solutions
  • Convene stakeholders with an urgency to solve grid integration challenges
  • Discuss collaborations and partnerships.

The Partner Forum provides a unique opportunity for partners to connect with NREL and one another, learn about and explore current and future activities, and discuss new trends and innovations in renewable energy technology. By facilitating these discussions, the event helps set the stage for future collaborations among attendees.

NREL recognizes and understands the value of partnerships and seeks out opportunities to collaborate. The lab's expanding partnerships include more than 1,000 agreements with organizations such as NYSERDA, SoCalGas, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Xcel Energy, Wells Fargo, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, General Motors, and Shell, which are working with the laboratory to shape the future of the U.S. energy market.
