N1 - Funding Information:
In examining Figs. 1, 2, and 6, it is observed that the increase in doctoral student enrolment and the overall graduate student enrolment is correlated with the increase in total annual investment in power programs. This could be attributed to the increased emphasis on renewable energy research by various federal funding agencies like the US Department of Energy (DOE), the DOE Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Starting from the year 2006 several large initiatives were initiated and funded.

N2 - Selected data from the IEEE Power Engineering Education Committee (PEEC) surveys (1969-2018) of power engineering resources have been extracted to identify enrollments in power and funding for university research in this area. The main observations are for US universities but some remarks on Canadian data are included. The nexus between university research funding and graduate enrollments is discussed and comments on undergraduate course enrollments in power engineering are given. Future trends are conjectured.
