Innovating Distributed Embedded Energy Prize (InDEEP) Phase III Webinar: Kickoff

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) is launching the Innovating Distributed Embedded Energy Prize (InDEEP) to encourage innovation in distributed embedded energy converter technology (DEEC-Tec, pronounced “deck tech”) to generate new, precommercial materials for wave energy conversion. This prize will challenge innovators from within and beyond wave energy to design and develop novel materials for marine energy applications that will lay the foundation for generating electricity at the grid scale. 

This three-phase, two-year competition is offering a combined cash prize pool up to $2.3 million. Teams will also receive technical support, teaming support, and other forms of mentorship throughout the prize to enable their success.

InDEEP Prize Phase 3: Kick-Off

The Innovating Distributed Embedded Energy Prize (InDEEP) awards up to $2.3 million in cash prizes to teams that use innovative methods to identify successful DEEC-Tec components and materials that show the greatest techno-economic potential for wave energy to contribute to grid-scale power systems. In Phase III of the prize, competitors will integrate their individual DEEC prototypes and test DEEC-Tec metamaterial.  

Join this kickoff webinar for Phase III to hear details about the final phase of the prize, information on the support to be provided for competitors, and strategies for developing a successful submission package. Register today and bring your questions to the Q&A session!
