Business

Innovative local energy businesses are aiming to provide benefit to communities, customers and the environment by supplying clean, affordable and flexible energy to a mix of households, businesses and public facilities. New business models are required, including energy services customised for different groups and sectors; peer-to-peer energy trading; and municipal and community energy.

In this research theme EnergyREV mapped the UK's current local energy business sector and worked with practitioners to understand what changes are needed to accelerate innovation in finance and business models for Smart Local Energy Systems.
