The Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) is a funding mechanism for the Electricity System Operator, Electricity Transmission, Gas Transmission and Gas Distribution sectors.



The SIF aims to find and fund ambitious, innovative projects with the potential to accelerate the transition to net zero. These projects should help shape the future of the gas and electricity networks and succeed commercially where possible.



On 15 August 2022, we published SIF Project Directions for 18 round one alpha phase projects in the SIF.



Since then, we have approved six change requests from network companies regarding these projects. We have published the updated SIF Project Directions below.
