DOE Launches EAS-E Prize to Accelerate Equitable, Affordable, and Simple Solutions for Home Electrification

EAS-E Prize

Today at the White House Electrification Summit, DOE announced its American-Made Equitable and Affordable Solutions to Electrification Prize (EAS-E Prize), which is offering $2.4 million in cash prizes and technical assistance vouchers to innovators who can help simplify the electrification processes for contractors and implementers. The prize aims to make the process faster and more affordable for homeowners across diverse communities and all housing types.

“Electrification is essential to eliminate carbon emissions from buildings, and we want to support an ecosystem of products and approaches that work for every homeowner who’s ready to make the switch,” said Alejandro Moreno, Acting Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “Whole-home electrification upgrades need to be easy and affordable solutions that make sense for any housing type, and the EAS-E Prize will help us identify, support, and accelerate comprehensive technology solutions like these that make sense for the grid and your wallet.”
