Energy Networks Innovation Strategy 2022

Learn more about how we are innovating to create tomorrow's energy networks.

For the first time, we have developed one combined gas and electricity strategy to ensure that network innovation takes a fully whole system approach and aligns with the UK’s overall low carbon innovation portfolio.

This strategy has been shaped by an extensive and carefully designed programme of stakeholder engagement and aims to enable our stakeholders to understand the key priorities for network innovation and how you can get involved.

With your help we want to ensure network innovation projects have clear strategic goals and deliver benefits to consumers by tackling the key issues facing our energy system.
