Empowering the Utility Industry: The BetterGrids Repository
In an era where reliable, innovative energy solutions are essential, the BetterGrids Repository stands out as a groundbreaking initiative advancing progress across the utility sector. Launched in 2017 with support from the U.S. Department of Energy, this AI-based, open-access data repository connects grid modernization researchers across more than 45 countries. Its community-driven governance model enables testing, innovation, and the development of smarter grid solutions.
A Community-Managed, Industry-Supported Resource
What sets BetterGrids apart is its structure: the repository is managed by the community, for the benefit of the entire industry—free from the influence of any single organization. Oversight is provided by a distinguished board of seven members, including leading professors and researchers from top-tier universities. Their collective leadership ensures the platform remains independent, credible, and future-focused.
Insightful, Non-Commercial Webinars
Knowledge sharing is central to the BetterGrids mission. The initiative regularly hosts expert-led webinars that explore the latest developments, challenges, and innovations within the utility landscape. This commitment to excellence ensures every webinar offers meaningful value to utility professionals and organizations.
