Thomas Alva Edison Foundation

The edison foundation's institute for the energy transition (iet) focuses on assessing the key 24/7 zero-emitting and related technologies necessary to achieving carbon emissions reduction goals reliably and affordably and periodically updating these assessments for all stakeholders to reflect significant developments, including deployments and improved economic fundamentals. Iet also focuses on identifying solutions to the legal, regulatory, and policy issues that must be addressed to ensure that these technologies can be deployed as soon as they are demonstrated and economic. During cy2024, the following were significant accomplishments of the institute for the energy transition: iet executive clean technology dialoguesiet organized executive clean tech dialogues on wildfire mitigation technologies, carbon capture and storage technologies, and a range of other current and emerging clean energy technologies of interest. The dialogues featured technology company executives in conversation with electric company ceos and senior executives. Eei 2024iet and iei partnered with eei to organize the hub sessions at eei 2024, which featured tech talks, panel discussions, and ceo conversations focused on near- and longer-term clean energy and customer-focused technologies.long duration energy storage (ldes) summitiet organized the inaugural long duration energy storage (ldes) summit with ldes partnership members doe, epri, and the ldes council. The event featured case studies of new ldes pilot programs undertaken by edison electric institute members and others.global power sector assessment in 2024, iet published key findings from the report it engaged icf to produce analyzing power sector emissions globally, which contains country and sector specific data, including detailed information on the u.s. Power sector. Key findings from the report were translated into infographics and one-pagers that were made available on the iet website. Emerging technologiesiet undertook a range of activities to highlight emerging technologies, including holding an event highlighting advanced transmission technologies during cera week and co-sponsoring several events focusing on wildfire mitigation technologies.
