Description

This Phase 1 SBRI competition aims to support the design of innovative tariffs, products or services (demand side flexibility propositions) under alternative energy market scenarios of a future energy system.

The Alternative Energy Markets Innovation Programme (of up to £18 million) aims to support the development and demonstration of innovative domestic demand side flexibility propositions in a future energy system where electricity market arrangements may look different from today.

In Phase 1 of the programme, through a pre-commercial procurement SBRI competition, BEIS seeks to support the design of innovative tariffs, products or services (demand side flexibility propositions) under alternative energy market scenarios of a future energy system.

Total funding of £2,000,000 is available for Phase 1 of the programme, with a maximum of £500,000 per project (exc VAT)

This programme is part of the up to £65 million overarching Flexibility Innovation Programme which seeks to enable electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme funds innovation across a range of key smart energy applications, and sits within the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).

Further information about the Alternative Energy Markets Innovation Programme including the competition guidance note is available on the competition website.
