ACEP joins American-Made Challenges Network
December 10, 2020
The Alaska Center for Energy and Power has joined the American-Made Challenges Network as a “connector” to help with testing and validation of new energy technologies.
ACEP's connector status will allow it to be a testbed for innovative local and sustainable energy
solutions that are being developed by existing and new partners.
The American-Made Challenges incentivize the nation's entrepreneurs to strengthen American leadership in energy
innovation and domestic manufacturing. The goal is to lower, or remove, the barriers
faced by U.S.-based innovators in reaching the manufacturing scale by accelerating
the cycles of learning from years to weeks. The initiative also helps to create partnerships
that connect entrepreneurs to the private sector and the network of the U.S. Department
of Energy's national laboratories across the nation.
