Energy Impact Center is a Washington, D.C.-based research institute focused on near-term climate solutions that pair individual prosperity with environmental health. Founded in 2017 by Silicon Valley technologists and first-principles thinkers, it analyzes and supports tools intended to enable an energy transition that can deliver climate stability, clean air and water, and broader energy access. The organization has grown to include a media arm and a team of engineering, economic, and research experts collaborating with partners worldwide. Its work reaches a broad audience of science and technology professionals online, underscoring its role as a source of independent analysis on energy matters. A notable development is OPEN100, an open-source blueprint for the design, construction, and financing of a small, standard nuclear power plant, with major updates released in 2020.
