Associate Professor Gabe Chan and researcher Matt Grimley have published a new study, "Bridging the Innovation Gap: Why Utility-Startup Partnerships are Key to Energy Abundance," in collaboration with Grid Catalyst.

The study examines the systemic hurdles, including regulatory, organizational, and financial, that are preventing cutting-edge technologies in energy production from getting to the market. The authors outline strategies to improve pilot programs, streamline innovation processes, and strengthen partnerships that support energy reliability, affordability, and decarbonization goals.
