The Energy Consortium is run by an Industry Advisory Board (IAB) that has voting representation from all our founding and core members.
The IAB approves 3 year strategic plans and directs them through well-articulated key strategic initiatives and key performance indicators. The first such plan was for 2022-2025 and currently the 2025-2028 plan is in play.
For monitoring performance, the IAB has formed sub-committees with representation of the IAB members and faculty affiliated to the Energy Consortium.
Currently four committees that are active are:
TRENDsetter program
TRENDsetter program that oversees predictable delivery and execution for the flagship research and technology programs funded by the consortium.
Pilot scale development committee
Pilot scale development committee that oversees scaling of successful TRENDsetter programs into mid TRL containerized or modularized pilots.
External engagement committee
External engagement committee that oversees strategic engagements that enable unlocking funding from government and other sources, both nationally and internationally, that can augment the research and technology focus of the consortium.
Government engagement committee
Government engagement committee that is tasked with interfacing with government agencies and supporting in national missions.
