EPRI -- based in Palo, Alto, CA. -- creates scientific and technological solutions for the global energy and energy-services industries. U.S. electric utilities established the Electric Power Research Institute in 1973 as a non-profit research consortium for the benefit of utility members and their customers. Today, EPRI provides a wide range of innovative products and services to more than 1000 energy-related organizations in 40 countries.

EPRI was an original sponsor of the GPiR project and the subsequent commercialization. Currently EPRI offers a service opportunity for EPRI-members for the use of the Ground Penetrating imaging Radar (GPiR) system.
