The Energy Networks Association (ENA) is looking for new ideas that could be turned into innovative projects to support vulnerable consumers.

The body is calling innovators to present their idea to an audience of energy network operators at this year’s Energy Networks Innovation Conference.

These may include the development of new applications of technologies, processes, technical solutions, models or approaches.

Projects that are compliant with the requirements of the Ofgem Network Innovation Allowance (NIA) will be eligible for funding through NIA.

Dan Clarke, Head of Innovation at Energy Networks Association, said: “Innovation is powering us to net zero but it’s crucial that we make sure that everyone can benefit, especially those who may live in vulnerable circumstances.”
