Working Toward An Equitable Energy Future

For decades, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been a leader in applied clean energy research. We put proven, reliable solutions into practice in partnership with thousands of communities and organizations throughout the United States and around the world. Uninterrupted access to energy is, for many people, an issue of life or death. For most, it is an essential contributor to quality of life. NREL's vision is a clean energy future for the world. As such, we focus on developing and delivering solutions that enable all people to participate in and benefit from the transition to sustainable energy. We seek to achieve equity in both the social and economic participation in the energy system, while also remediating social, economic, and health burdens caused by the energy system.
