Get your solution into the room where the problem gets solved.
The foundation is built around the challenges, the people, and intelligence to solve the grid's toughest challenges. Every month unlocks a new utility working group.
The foundation is already built
12 months. 10 challenge areas. One movement. 200+ utilities. The hardest grid modernization problems are framed, owned, and ready for the solutions that can actually move them.
The rooms where it happens
We host Challenge Lab Workshops. AEIC hosts the Working Groups. That is where the problems get worked — and where your solution earns a seat at the table.
The people behind it
The utility members who own the challenges and the solvers who answer them — brought together in the same rooms, working the same problems.
The intelligence
Filings, pain points, market signals, and named owners per account — the evidence that tells you where to show up, why now, and who to talk to.
