The EPSRC Supergen Energy Networks Hub is delighted to announce the award of funding to 3 research projects, at a total cost of awards of £311,896. This follows a competitive round of Flex Fund applications from researchers across the UK. The standard of applications was very high with an excellent cross-vector response.

We received 37 Expressions of Interest from 21 Institutions nationally and invited 20 applicants to submit a full proposal. Following an extensive review process, moderation meeting and ratification it was agreed to fund a total of 3 projects.

We will be funding the following 3 projects, subject to contract, which sees the Hub expand its collaborations to include Management Science, Energy Meteorology as well as welcoming another University and we look forward to working with them all in the future.
