The Energy Research Partnership is a high-level forum bringing together key stakeholders and funders of energy research, development, demonstration and deployment in Government, industry and academia, plus other interested bodies, to identify and work together towards shared goals.

The Partnership has been designed to give strategic direction to UK energy  innovation, seeking to influence the development of new technologies and enabling timely, focussed investments to be made. It does this by (i) influencing members in their respective individual roles and capacities and (ii)  communicating views more widely to other stakeholders and decision makers  as appropriate. ERP’s remit covers the whole energy system, including supply  (nuclear, fossil fuels, renewables), infrastructure, and the demand side (built environment, energy efficiency, transport).

The report on ‘Flexibility Options for the Energy System’ uses the assumptions and results from the CCC’s scenario as a starting point for studying how technologies could help manage intermittency. Priority areas in which innovation could reduce the impacts of intermittent generation and improve the flexibility of the energy system are proposed. Analysis draws on previous work by the Energy Research Partnership and experience of its Members to consider technical and engineering challenges, the business cases for technology deployment, and how further analysis of the energy system should incorporate a wider set of perspectives.
