Our funding decisions for Cycle 3 of the Strategic Innovation Fund, covering the Discovery, Alpha, and Beta phases.

Details

Working in partnership with Innovate UK, Ofgem aims to find and fund ambitious, innovative projects with the potential to accelerate the transition to net zero.

We delivered Cycle 3 of the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) under the RIIO-2 network price control and supported innovation across the gas and electricity networks. 

We made funding decisions following a competitive application process, and we assessed projects for their potential to:

  • deliver consumer benefits
  • accelerate decarbonisation
  • support system transformation
