Local Energy Market
As part of our Local Energy Market project we are looking to deliver a smarter local energy system that will revolutionise how energy is used, stored and distributed across Greater Manchester’s 10 boroughs. Proposals will pave the way for new technologies and low-carbon infrastructure in the future from renewable energy sources like air source heat pumps to solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
The two-year project is funded by a £3m grant from the Industrial Strategy Challenge fund, delivered by UK Research and Innovation.
