The programme consisted of 2 phases:
-
Phase 1 – supported the design of innovative tariffs,tariffs, products or products or services (demand side flexibility propositions) under alternative energy market scenarios of a future energy system.system. See details of the funded projects from this phase: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/alternative-energy-markets-innovation-programme-projects/alternative-energy-markets-innovation-programme-phase-1-projects
-
Phase 22 – delivered real world demonstrators which tested demand side flexibility propositions developed in Phase 1 in a real-world setting, demonstrating the impact of propositions and potential benefit to the electricity grid and consumers under various scenarios.
