Overview

Our bi-monthly EnergyREV newsletters bring together a range of blogs and news from the EnergyREV consortium and the wider PFER programme. You can read past editions below or get it sent straight to your inbox by signing up for our news updates.   

March 2022 Newsletter 14

In our March newsletter EnergyREVs Principal Investigator Stephen McArthur sets the context for our final year as we work to maximise our impact around the net zero transition, as part of the wider Prospering from the Energy Revolution programme.

We have a range of reports and tools being released over the coming months. A report highlighting insights around the flexibility within smart local energy systems (SLES) was released this week which includes how to quantify the benefits it can bring for decarbonisation as well as how to make these benefits a reality. There is an update on the latest developments on the Catalogue of Projects on Energy Data platform as it moves towards an April launch and news on some of the international exchanges happening around the development of SLES. We also have emerging insights from the diverse world of local energy system pioneers within the UK, challenges and opportunities for campus scale energy systems, and some upfront highlights from research into ethics and artificial intelligence in energy transitions.

September 2021 Newsletter 11

Our September newsletter highlights opportunities for integrating and combining the findings from across Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) to provide real evidence on the value and place for Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES). For EnergyREV, this includes integrating our activities and key insights from across our work package activities to drive novel and impactful outcomes, something we start to pull together in our Starting to Join the Dots report, that features in this newsletter. More widely, insights on skills and training, policy and regulation, and an update from the ReFLEX Orkney PFER demonstration project.
