Booz Allen Hamilton has won a 10-year, $550 million contract from the Energy Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
Booz Allen will support the advancement of high-potential, high-impact early-stage technologies that generate, store and use energy in entirely new ways to reduce U.S. emissions, improve energy efficiency and increase the resiliency and reliability of the nation’s power grid.
The company serves as primary technical and operations support to ARPA-E.
“We are proud to be ARPA-E’s partner in powering the critical mission to enhance the U.S. competitive position in science and technology, improve environmental wellbeing, and solve the most pressing climate challenges using novel technology,” said Mike Miller, leader of the company’s ARPA-E work and its broader civilian energy business.
“Booz Allen empowers its people to change the world, and our team is doing just that—upsetting the status quo in energy technology, operating like a startup, and advancing an ecosystem where not-yet-invented technology can rise and be deployed for good,” Miller said.
Under the contract, Booz Allen’s multidisciplinary team, which includes over 50 PhD.s, will support the entire lifecycle of early-stage technology for ARPA-E with an emphasis on supporting ARPA-E awardees’ efforts to de-risk their emerging technologies.
Over 160 Booz Allen employees support the company’s ARPA-E work, bringing a whole-of-organization approach to the portfolio through its engineers, scientists, analysts and project managers with capabilities including digital/IT transformation, project management, finance, and AI and machine learning.
