The ASU Laboratory for Energy And Power Solutions, or LEAPS, proudly celebrates 10 years! Solutions are core to what we do, who we are, and what we strive to deliver.
Our extension services have been applied in more than 200 locations to unlock $332M in public and private financing. This is enabling the deployment of 161 MW of clean, reliable energy to benefit 100,000 people and their local economies. Our approaches have secured $59M in sponsored projects to ASU with support from 28 sponsoring entities, created collaborations with 84 external partners, 15 partnering ASU units, 27 partnering ASU faculty and staff, and employed over 300 student changemakers.
At LEAPS, we extend the mission of the university into communities, into businesses, and into government using approaches that allow a university to interface with society in new ways. The linked “LEAPS at Ten” summarizes our approach, impact to date, and provides a sample of projects from the last year.
Thank you to partners and sponsors as we create new ways for universities to generate impact at scale.
