Texas Consortium for Electric Energy (TxCEE)
Texas is fortunate to be home to a wealth of energy and technology expertise – an advantage soon to be the focus of a new institution: the Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies (CCET).
Electric utilities, technology companies, and educational institutions in Texas have recognized the opportunity to work together to enhance the security, reliability, and efficiency of the electric infrastructure in Texas through research, development, demonstration, and commercialization of advanced technologies. CCET is moving forward with projects to produce innovation in the transmission, distribution, and use of electric energy that will maintain the state’s leadership in the industry and improve the economic well-being of all citizens.
The 21st Century promises to be the technology age of the developed world economies. While technological innovation has long been the driving force of change in the world's developed economies, especially in the United States, there promises to be a new era of change that dwarfs that of the past. Computer technology, the Internet and information technology is reshaping the economic order. The electric industry has been a major source of technological change in the past and will undoubtedly be at the forefront
of change in the 21 Century.
