Driving Innovation

1. Develop affordable and secure sources of energy supply that also reduce GHG emissions

2. Integration of future demand and energy supply into a flexible, secure and resilient energy system

3. Reduce GHG emissions at point of use

And working with our partners across the Low Carbon Innovation Coordination Group (LCICG) in delivery

Our Energy Systems activity ramping up...

• Scaling up activity through to 2015/16– New Energy Systems Innovation Platform including;

• Roadmapping & Coordination• RD&D funding and linkage to other schemes (eg LCNF,

ETI, DECC)• Working in partnership with Energy Systems Catapult

• First CR&D competition: “Localised Energy Systems” closed last week– Collaborative with Transport, Digital, Buildings and energy

teams, EPSRC.– Our most popular energy competition ever!

Finally, some thoughts on today

Challenge Today’s Opportunity

Energy Systems: a multi-dimensional issue...

Stimulating talks from multiple viewpoints

Only have a piece of the puzzle....

Find another piece to join onto

Complexity of energy systems

Listen well, contribute fully

Route to market needs collaboration

Everyone here is your potential partner
