Advancing new energy — and the defenses that protect it
The Tettra Foundation is a non-profit think tank researching next-generation energy technologies and the cybersecurity that safeguards the critical infrastructure they run on.
Energy that endures, infrastructure that holds
We exist to accelerate the clean-energy transition while making the systems that deliver it resilient to modern threats.
The world is electrifying and decentralizing faster than ever — and the same connectivity that makes new energy systems efficient also makes them targets. The Tettra Foundation bridges these two disciplines, pairing energy innovation with the cyber and physical resilience that critical infrastructure demands.
As an independent non-profit, our work is guided by public benefit rather than commercial interest. We research, prototype, and share what we learn openly with operators, researchers, and policymakers.
Explore Our CapabilitiesWhere our research focuses
Cross-disciplinary programs spanning clean energy and the protection of the infrastructure that carries it.
Advanced Energy Research
Investigating next-generation generation, storage, and hydrogen systems for a decentralized, carbon-free grid.
Infrastructure Cybersecurity
Securing the OT, ICS, and control systems that operate energy assets against evolving digital threats.
Grid & Systems Resilience
Hardening power systems so they withstand, absorb, and recover from disruption — physical or cyber.
Applied R&D & Prototyping
Moving promising technologies from lab to field through rigorous, independent testing and validation.
Policy, Standards & Advisory
Translating research into guidance that informs standards, regulation, and sound public policy.
Education & Workforce
Building the cross-disciplinary talent pipeline the energy-security field urgently needs.
Research in the public interest
Our methods reflect our independence — rigorous, collaborative, and openly shared.
Independent & Non-Partisan
As a non-profit, our findings answer to evidence and public benefit — not to any vendor, product, or agenda.
Cross-Disciplinary
We bring energy engineers and security researchers to the same table — because the problems don't respect silos.
Applied & Open
We validate ideas in the real world and share what we learn with operators, researchers, and policymakers.
