UK Centre for Research on Energy Demand: Towards a New Centre Nick - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
UK Centre for Research on Energy Demand: Towards a New Centre Nick Eyre Consultation Meeting London, 28 th September 2017 EUED Champion Grant Objectives: July 2017 to March 2018 To design and develop a bid a new 5-year Centre on energy
To design and develop a bid a new 5-year Centre on energy demand research. Proposal deadline 31st October 2017 To consult with the energy demand research community and stakeholders on research needs in the context of a changing energy system. To identify new challenges with the research and stakeholder communities. To ensure a smooth transition from the existing EUED Centres to the new Centre.
July - September Consultation on themes – on-line and face to face August Expressions of interest in theme leadership September/ October Centre proposal process: content development and bid preparation 28th September Research community and stakeholder meeting 31st October Bid submission November 2017 to March 2018 Stakeholder interaction Research co-creation Consultation on challenges Planning for knowledge exchange continuity

Context for energy demand Systemic change to low/zero carbon over a few decades Security and affordability remain political priorities Changes in energy use will be critical to system change Context for research priorities Further – going beyond currently cost effective technologies and minor behavioural changes Faster – increasing the pace of innovation, and using more ambitious policy intervention Flexibly – adding fuel switching and demand response to the demand reduction agenda
