The Master Research Agreement (MRA) between Northwestern University and Exelon joins one of the nation's leading research institutes with one of its largest competitive energy providers. Exelon and its family of companies span 48 states and represent every stage of the energy value chain including power generation, transmission, and distribution. The partnership, led by ISEN, emphasizes clean energy innovation, focusing on a robust project portfolio including grid management and resilience, energy storage, and renewable technologies. The strategic research agreement is designed to streamline the process for evaluating, testing, and scaling scientific discoveries made in Northwestern labs for commercial use. Research findings will likely have immediate and tangible implications on the way energy is produced, transmitted, and consumed in the United States.
