National Grid secures £15.3m for three net zero innovation projects

London, September 13, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––:Three National Grid-led projects developing electricity transmission and distribution network innovations will continue their work after securing £15.3 million from the next stage of Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) programme.

National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) has been awarded £8,500,724 for a project that will help develop a net zero electricity network by creating a long-term strategy to remove electrical insulating gas SF6 from the network.

National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) has been awarded £6,856,750 for two projects supporting local decision-making on regional energy planning for net zero on a single digital platform and addressing the potential load imbalance across phases in the distribution network as more customers opt for low carbon technologies.

The projects have been funded through the programme’s Beta Phase, which allows for the testing of innovation at a scale that can support future commercialisation and integration into the UK energy networks, typically following earlier feasibility work delivered through the Discovery and Alpha phases.

These funding awards will support National Grid’s efforts to accelerate the transition to a net zero future, while delivering tangible benefits to energy networks, local authorities and consumers.
Both NGET and NGED will be collaborating with the electricity system operator (ESO) on a separate SIF-funded Powering Wales Renewably project to accelerate low carbon energy in Wales. NGED is also working with Wales and West Utilities (WWU) on the NextGen Electrolysis project, aiming to reduce the cost of producing hydrogen, by using wastewater rather than high-purity water for the electrolysis process.

These projects are funded through the Strategic Innovation Fund, an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with Innovate UK.
