The energy revolution challenge will bring together
businesses working with the best research &
expertise to develop and demonstrate new approaches to
provide cleaner, cheaper energy. This includes linking
low-carbon power, heating and transport systems with
energy storage and advanced IT to create intelligent,
local energy systems and services.
It is part of the Industrial
Strategy Challenge Fund.
The first opportunities and where to find out
more
The first funding opportunities through this challenge
will make up to £41.5 million available for:
- ground-breaking, localised energy system
demonstrators. We will be looking to fund projects
across the UK
- projects that develop novel concepts that could
revolutionise local energy provision
Full details of the competitions will be announced

meantime can go to one of the briefing events:
Details of further activity with the fund will also be
