Generation to power grid to you- in Electrons, we explore how energy becomes electricity. You’ll learn how power gets priced, how grids stay balanced, and what makes energy markets tick. Watch this video where the Center’s Andrew Owens tells you how we'll see electrons in action.

Where does energy begin? In the Molecules section of Energy Fundamentals, we trace the raw materials behind energy—fossil fuels, lithium for batteries, rare earths in wind turbines, and more. The video below introduces us to the materials that build our energy landscape.

Ready to power your energy knowledge? Join us this summer for Energy Fundamentals, a week-long course that unpacks the building blocks of today’s energy system.
