Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) Show & Tell – Alpha Round 2
Join us to hear from energy networks and their partners about their Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) Alpha phase projects. Find out what they have learnt so far in addressing the Round 2 innovation challenges.
About the event
Making the changes we need in our energy system to achieve net zero is a major challenge – and it is urgent! This is why the SIF was established in 2021, to drive innovation and transformation in energy networks.
These free to attend webinars include presentations from the Alpha phase projects funded in 2023 under the SIF. Alpha projects represent the SIF proof-of-concept phase, they run for six months with funding of up to £500k.
This is a great opportunity to engage with the networks and their partners, and ask questions about their projects; what have they learnt so far and what do they have planned next?
