🔎 Deep dives into synthetic data and EV insights 📊 Panel discussion on the future of smart data This marks the start of an exciting journey, making high-quality, connected energy data easier to access and use, and enabling more informed decision-making across the sector.

What if your energy data just made SENSE? Better access. Faster insights. Smarter decisions. This week, we launched the Smart Energy Data Service (SENSE) at Oxford University, designed to do exactly that.

🚀 New players and experienced hands: new entrants in energy retail and a major change in energy policy circles, but questions remain on what it means for innovation and consumer bills. Get the full breakdown: es.catapult.org.uk/insight/watts-…

⚖️ Mixed price signals and queue concerns: stripping carbon costs could weaken investment signals for renewables, while growing grid demand is creating new tensions.

Watts the story in energy this month? From global shocks to local constraints, the system is under pressure. And the ripple effects are impossible to ignore. Tom Luff, Head of Policy and Business Model Innovation, explains what’s going on:

Claire Rowland, Senior Manager for Living Lab, explores what this means for mainstream adoption in her latest blog. Find out more: es.catapult.org.uk/insight/what-c…

Because grid planning, policy, and product design all depend on how technologies combine, not just individual uptake. There’s also a huge opportunity here. Homes could unlock significant flexibility for the energy system, if the right solutions are in place.

What can 5,000 homes tell us about the future of energy? 🤔 Loads, it turns out. In our Living Lab, we’re seeing how low-carbon tech actually shows up in homes, not as single installs, but as connected systems.

💡 How innovation, policy and markets must align Download the report to discover how GridFlex is unlocking energy system flexibility: es.catapult.org.uk/report/energy-…

Our new GridFlex report explores how the UK can unlock that opportunity. Inside the report: ⚡️ Why flexibility is key to a reliable, low-cost Net Zero system 🤖 The role of AI, IoT and optimisation technologies ❌ The barriers stopping solutions from scaling

Energy flexibility isn’t optional. It’s essential for delivering Clean Power 2030. As electric vehicles, heat pumps and batteries connect to the grid, the system must coordinate millions of assets in real time. That’s where innovation becomes critical.
