You’re having a difficult time because it’s not a very popular field right now. Even GT only has a handful of faculty members in it, and they are, on average, fairly old ( [Electrical Energy Faculty Members](http://www.ece.gatech.edu/research/tigs/faculty.php?id=4) ).

What is it you’re actually interested in? Grid design? Power electronics? Photovoltaics? All three of those could conceivably be lumped together as “power” or “energy”.

If you want an outlook, I’ve heard that the jobs are pretty stable, but they do not pay as well as EE’s in other areas.
