Now in its 36th year, the IDEA's CampusEnergy Conference has earned a reputation for unparalleled technical content, valuable peer exchange and robust dialogue with business partners in a relaxed, collegial atmosphere, bringing the industry together from across North America and around the globe.
District Energy systems form the backbone of efficient, resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure for campuses, municipal systems, healthcare, airports and military bases. There is now an evolution is underway to decarbonize and strengthen these important community assets and CampusEnergy2023 is where over 1100 will convene to discuss the future of the industry.
EPRI is proud to be part of this effort and will participate in the first-ever nuclear track at CampusEnergy in 2023. EPRI members will be sharing details of the Nuclear in District Energy Applications (NuIDEA) Initiative.
NuIDEA supports EPRI's efforts to decarbonize the district energy sector in partnership with higher education, healthcare, and other institutions. In this initiative, EPRI will be working to develop a roadmap to enable nuclear energy as a viable option for this market by 2026.
By sharing about the NuIDEA initiative at CampusEnergy 2023, EPRI hopes to strengthen the effort to develop the roadmap and address any issues to enable nuclear energy as a solution for district energy — allowing the initiative to reach across industries. More info on NuIDEA below.

EPRIs NuIDEA: Decarbonizing District Energy Systems
NuIDEA is an exciting initiative for district energy around the world. Though district energy has been used for almost 150 years in a variety of applications, centralized energy production takes advantage of economies of scale to improve energy efficiency and reliability while reducing costs and carbon emissions.
This initiative harnesses the development of nuclear microreactors to support the decarbonization of district energy systems while providing reliable and resilient sources of energy.
The effects of this initiative are far-reaching, with the potential to transform the energy landscape in the coming years.
Come visit EPRI at CampusEnergy2023 to learn more about this initiative and how it will change the future of energy.
