Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has been awarded funding as part of a $155 million Department of Energy initiative to enhance U.S. industrial innovation. The three projects will focus on load flexibility, data center cooling, and food processing to improve productivity and reduce costs.

Resource-secure Energy Flexibility (REFLEX) will demonstrate load flexibility to stabilize the grid, while the Data Center Cooling Collaborative will establish a network for cooling technologies to alleviate energy demand. The projects will involve partnerships with utilities and industry stakeholders to foster technological advancements.
