I have noticed that DARPA's Grand Challenge for AI has had a lot of success given the relatively limited funds invested. Since energy security is every bit as important as military security, I suggest a similar approach with multiple grand challenges. Such as: energy storage density in batteries, solar conversion efficiencies, light source efficiencies, etc.
