Funding for innovative and impactful AI solutions enabling the UK to accelerate progress towards a net zero energy system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams can apply for funding to develop innovations aimed at decarbonising the UK\u2019s energy grid and enhancing energy security, supporting the government\u2019s goal of becoming a clean energy superpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants must show how their solutions will promote low-cost energy, reduce demand, and improve energy efficiency. Potential innovations include enhancing wind and solar power generation, using AI to increase efficiency in homes and businesses, and leveraging technology to predict energy demand spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions should demonstrate use of AI that accelerates the UK\u2019s adoption of clean energy technologies at scale, enable efficient or low-cost operations of clean energy systems, and\/or significantly reduce energy demand or optimise energy usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning solution will demonstrate not only technical innovation but also an evidenced road map to near-term (2030) adoption and scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ELIGIBILITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
