Twelve projects have been awarded beta funding to further develop ideas and innovations in the latest tranche of funding awards from the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) and Innovate UK’s SIF.
As well as delivering financial, environmental and societal benefits for Great Britain’s energy consumers, these projects also support government efforts to make Britain a clean energy superpower.
The projects will play an integral part in accelerating the delivery of net zero by 2030 and fit key themes of:
- supporting a just energy transition
- accelerating decarbonisation
- preparing for net zero
- improving energy system resilience
Beta projects allow for the testing of innovation at a scale that can support future commercialisation and integration into the UK energy networks. They typically follow earlier feasibility and proof-of-concept work delivered through discovery and alpha phases.
