The Energy Policy Institute (EPI) is closely tied to the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES). CAES is a public and private, research and education partnership between the Idaho National Laboratory, Boise State University, the University of Idaho, Idaho State University, and private industry. EPI works to innovate and improve energy policy on a governmental and corporate level, to develop environmentally friendly energy and sustainable economic development. EPI utilizes the knowledge of its researchers and faculty from the CAES partners to accomplish the goals of stakeholders and funding agencies on international, national, regional, and local levels. These goals are accomplished through funded reports, peer-reviewed articles, and research collaborations. Currently, EPI received funding from organizations such as the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the Western Governors' Association, the Small Business Administration, and the State of Idaho, among others.
