ARPA-ED, like ARPA-E, however, does not have a clear-cut connection between supply and demand.
Ongoing investments include the creation of ARPA-E, a research agency tasked with promoting cutting-edge energy technologies.
That includes a doubling of his new ARPA-E initiative and the doubling of the energy innovation hubs.
As a result, EERE is implementing ARPA-E style project management reforms to boost the effectiveness of its investments.

This was a topic of a session at the annual conference of the Advanced Research Projects Agency- Energy ( ARPA-E).
This type of grid-level storage is a priority for the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, program.
This week ARPA-E announced it is funding General Atomics to build a flow battery using well-known, and cheap, lead acid chemistry.
Note to other ARPA-E attendees: please let me know if you hear of outside-the-box energy ideas, or mention them in the comments.
But given the strong headwinds against new investments, securing the necessary level of investment for an organization like ARPA-E will be a challenge.
