Edison Foundation institute for electric innovation:the Edison Foundation institute for electric innovation (iei) focuses on advancing the adoption of new technologies that improve the customer experience by enhancing how electric companies engage with customers to strengthen and transform the energy grid. Iei promotes the sharing of information, ideas, and experiences among regulators, policymakers, technology companies, thought leaders, and the electric power industry. Iei also identifies policies that support the business case for the adoption of cost-effective technologies. During cy2023, the following were significant accomplishments of the institute for electric innovation:annual powering the people eventin november 2023, iei hosted its annual event, which focused on three high priority areas for the electic power sector: advancing energy affordability- moving past point solutions; customers as a resource demand flexibility, vpps, and the future grid; potentials and perils of ai. Electric companies, technology companies, policy makers, regulators and other stakeholders attended the event.iei executive dialoguesin 2023, iei brought together technology company executives and electric company ceos and senior executives in an 8-part thought leaders speak out executive dialogue series, which focused on using technology to successfully engage with residential customers.naruc briefingin november 2023, iei hosted a briefing for national association of regulatory utility commissioner members focused on customer programs and technology solutions to increase customer participation, especially low-to-moderate income customers in energy management programs using new automation, personalization, and digitization capabilities.iei reports and issue briefseach year, iei publishes reports, issue briefs, and fact sheets to identify where the industry is today and trends for the future in the areas of energy efficiency, smart meters, and clean energy trends. In 2023, iei produced an issue brief on electric company smart meter deployments and facts sheets focused on the state of clean energy implementation.

Edison Foundation institute for the energy transition:the Edison Foundation's institute for the energy transition (iet) focuses on assessing the key 24/7 zero-emitting and related technologies necessary to achieving carbon emissions reduction goalsreliably and affordably and periodically updating these assessments for all stakeholders to reflect significant developments, including deployments and improved economic fundamentals. Iet also focuses on identifying solutions to the legal, regulatory, and policy issues that must be addressed to ensure that these technologies can be deployed as soon as they are demonstrated and economic. During cy2023, the following were significant accomplishments of the institute for the energy transition: iet executive clean technology dialoguesin 2023, iet partnered with mckinsey on a series of clean technology dialogues for technology company executives and electric company ceos and senior executives. The dialogues focussed on hydrogen, long duration energy storage, carbon capture and storage and advanced grid technologies, as well as an overall assessment of the clean energy technology landscape.eei 2023iet and iei partnered with eei to organize the hub sessions at eei 2023, which featured tech talks, panel discussions, and ceo conversations focused on near- and longer-term clean energy technologies. Global power sector assessmentin 2023, iet briefed members on key findings from the report it engaged icf to produce analyzing power sector emissions globally, the key findings of which will be translated into infographics and one-pagers that will be made available on the iet website. Iet will publish the report, which contains country and sector specific data, including detailed information on the u.s. power sector in 2024.
