The document summarizes the UK's £102 million Energy Revolution program to prove that intelligent, local energy approaches can create prosperous clean energy communities by 2022. The program will fund: 1) Practical demonstrator projects receiving £40 million to test integrated energy systems in real-world settings. 2) Future design concepts receiving £30 million for more ambitious conceptual studies of localized energy systems for specific geographies. 3) Research receiving £22 million to develop new insights and knowledge about local energy systems through an Energy Revolution Research Consortium. The Energy Systems Catapult will coordinate across funded activities to ensure best practices and consistency and draw insights from the overall program.

4. The energy revolution challenge:
Prove by 2022 that local, investable, consumer-
centric energy approaches can create
prosperous clean energy communities across
the UK
4

5. 1. Prove investable, scalable local business models by 2022, that
• deliver cleaner, cheaper energy services
• build more prosperous and resilient communities
• benefit the whole energy system
• use integrated, intelligent approaches
1. Unlock 10x future private investment in local integrated energy
systems in 2020s (vs business as usual).
2. Accelerate new products and services to commercialisation
creating real world proving grounds.
3. Build UK leadership in integrated energy services provision

• Seeking 6 month concept studies for
a particular geography
• To similar specification as
demonstrators but greater
ambition demanded.
• 67 applicants seeking 6x grant budget
• Map shows 42 assessed applications.

10. Energy Revolution Integration Service
• Energy Systems Catapult will:
• Coordinate across all the funded
activities
• Ensure best practice whole systems
approaches are adopted
• Ensure consistency of approach is
apparent across the programme
• Draw insight and learning from the
programme as a whole
10

11. Energy Revolution Research Consortium
• ERRC will integrate with the
broader programme to:
• Bring a highly inter-disciplinary
approach to developing new insight
and knowledge about local integrated
energy systems (physical, socio-
economic, natural, and environmental
and data sciences)
• Synthesise learning and develop new
research insight from across the inter-
disciplinary energy domain
