Description

This SBRI Competition aims to support the development of innovative solutions for an automated secure data exchange process for registering small-scale energy assets and collecting and accessing small-scale energy asset data.

The Automatic Asset Registration (AAR) programme is a £2m funding opportunity to develop innovative Solutions that will facilitate digitalisation of the energy system. AAR will fund the development of innovative Solutions to replace manual registration of small-scale demand, generation and storage assets (such as heat pumps, EV charge points, solar PV and in-home/SME batteries) as well as the development of a Central Asset Register ("CAR"), capable of collecting and sharing energy asset data, once successfully registered.

This Competition forms part of the up to £65m Flexibility Innovation Programme.

AAR is specifically designed to help address the need for a digitised energy system. It will be delivered through a Small Business Research Initiative ("SBRI"), offering funding support to deliver a joined-up Solution to manual registration of small-scale energy assets.
