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. 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-2-projects
Programme Completion
The Alternative Energy Markets Innovation Programme concluded in 2025. The programme funded four projects to design innovative tariffs, products or services, and supported three projects through to demonstration and testing.
