TEPRI is a Texas-based research services organization focused on advancing affordable, reliable, and clean energy for underserved communities. It operates as a collaboration among energy and social equity stakeholders, drawing on experts from inside and outside the energy sector to conduct research, build evidence, and develop tools for practitioners, while testing new models, programs, and policies with local jurisdictions to scale impact. It partners with local jurisdictions and community organizations to translate research into practical energy solutions that benefit those most in need. In 2023, TEPRI partnered with the South Union Community Development Corporation to pilot Virtual Power Plant technology in Sunnyside, and with the Texas Solar Energy Society and Frontier Energy to release a report on solar innovation. Based in Austin, Texas, TEPRI is a small organization operating within the broader research services landscape.
