19 August 2024

Ofgem has announced the introduction of a new process which gives innovators more opportunities to apply or re-apply to the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) and gain funding quicker than ever before. 

 

Responding to today's news, Dan Clarke, Head of Innovation at Energy Networks Association (ENA), said:

“We really welcome the changes Ofgem are bringing in. These will improve access to funding and speed up innovation projects for innovators. Most importantly, the result of this should be felt by customers who will ultimately see the benefit of this investment in our energy infrastructure.”
