From testing energy policy proposals for their distributional impact to advising regulators on low carbon network incentives, we seek to improve the policies and practices which shape the energy system and the energy-related choices and opportunities available to us all.

The smart energy vision includes enhancing the financial value of renewable heat and power generated in the city – particularly from variable sources like wind, solar and tidal.
