National Laboratory of the Rockies
Golden, Colorado, United States
About
Founded in 1977, National Laboratory of the Rockies is a government headquartered in Golden, United States with approximately 5000+ employees specializing in Solar, Wind, Hydro.
National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) is the primary national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy focused on energy systems research and development. It bridges foundational research with practical applications to advance energy technologies across the full spectrum: generation, storage, buildings, transportation, and emerging technologies. NLR has developed over 920 patented or patent-pending technologies and won 76 R&D 100 Awards. The laboratory operates more than 1,100 active partnerships with industry, universities, foundations, and governments. Its research spans solar photovoltaics (including high-efficiency multi-junction cells and thin-film technologies), wind energy (including Collective Consensus Control for wind farms), geothermal systems, biomass and biogas conversion, energy storage (batteries and thermal storage), building efficiency, and critical minerals recovery.
