First day of end of EnergyREV summit. A full day discussing the role of research in large programmes, #engagement #skills #ai #sensors #tools showcase and a live Local Zero podcast this evening Rebecca Ford 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐭 🌻 Innovate UK UK Research and Innovation Jo Patterson Stephen McArthur @jjeh102

Innovation has to start somewhere - we have to make sure that we are all learning from the experiences in places like Oxford Energy Superhub Oxford Project_LEO and Orkney ReFLEX Orkney good and not so good - to ensure the progress to #NetZero is being made #energysmartplaces Local Zero podcast

Champions for delivery are there, co-benefits are huge - social, evonomic, environmental - in areas where #JustTransition is most needed that will push towards #NetZero - why are we still reluctant to run forwards! #energysmartplaces

So much has been achieved over the past 3+ years that the Prospering From the Energy Revolution Innovate UK programme has been running - delivery of Demo and Design projects Energy Systems Catapult and the UK Research and Innovation EnergyREV consortium. Access our work at: energyrev.org.uk

Excellent focused workshop yesterday to discuss future research challenges on skills and engagement for smart local energy systems as part of EnergyREV. While this particular project is wrapping up, momentum around local energy is just taking off.

As we approach the end of EnergyREV initial funding, some of our early career researchers have convened for a writing retreat to push for even more outputs. Keep an eye on our website energyrev.org.uk There is a lot more to come!! Innovate UK @ukri #smartenergyplaces

A resource pack for schools around Cyberphysical Advances in Smart Local Energy Systems has been released today EnergyREV Dr Charlie Ingram Alison Halford Elena Gaura The toolkit to addresses a gap in school resources is available to understand smart local energy systems.
