Details
TheAlternative Energy MarketsInnovation Programme ran from 2023 to 2025.See details of theprogrammehere:/government/publications/alternative-energy-markets-innovation-programme.
Programme structure
The programme consisted of 2 phases:
-
Phase 1–supported the design of innovative tariffs, products or services (demand side flexibility propositions) under alternative energy market scenarios of a future energy system.See details of the funded projects from this phase:/government/publications/alternative-energy-markets-innovation-programme-projects/alternative-energy-markets-innovation-programme-phase-1-projects
-
Phase 2–deliveredreal world demonstrators which tested demand side flexibility propositions developed in Phase 1 in a real-world setting, demonstrating the impact of propositions and potential benefit to the electricity grid and consumers under various scenarios.

Background
The Alternative Energy Markets Innovation Programme supportedthe design and demonstration of domestic demand side flexibility propositions (tariffs,productsand services) inafuture energy system where electricity market arrangements may look different from today. It demonstratedthe value that innovative domestic demand side response propositions may bring to both the consumer and the system, and contributedto the evidence base for how the domestic flexibility market can be grown to inform future policy and regulatory decisions; supporting the delivery of a smart and flexible energy system.
This programme was part of theFlexibility Innovation Programme whichsoughtto enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. The Flexibility Innovation Programme funded innovation across a range of key smart energyapplications, andsat within theNet Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
