Office of Electricity: Building the 21^st Century Grid Together

The Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity (OE) is excited to kick off a three-week campaign exploring the vital work done by our divisions—Grid Controls and Communications, Grid Systems and Components, and Energy Storage—and how they work in tandem to develop a 21^st-century grid that supports all Americans. Follow our social media accounts and check back on our homepage as we introduce you to members of the OE team and explore their work, building up to World Energy Storage Day on Friday, September 22! The topics will run as follows:

• September 5 – 8: Grid Controls and Communications Week
• September 11 – 15: Grid Systems and Components Week
• September 18 – 22: Energy Storage Week
• September 22: World Energy Storage Day

Access to reliable, resilient, and affordable electricity is vital to all Americans, and preserving this access is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. OE makes strategic investments across the entire transmission and distribution system, encompassing everything from bulk generation to end-users. This includes physical infrastructure technologies such as power electronics, transmission lines, and substations, which facilitate efficient power transfer across the network. Energy storage solutions play a critical role in enabling the widespread deployment of renewable energy.

Follow along during the coming weeks to learn more about the vital work done by OE’s divisions and help us celebrate World Energy Storage Day on September 22!
