Technology developers and industrial companies can apply for funding to increase energy efficient technologies within UK industry.
The Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA) funds industrial scale demonstrations of novel technologies with the potential to reduce energy consumption, maximise resource efficiency and cut carbon emissions in industry.
Phase 4 of the programme is expected to provide at least £3.5 million in grant funding. Grants will be competitively awarded to projects that can install and test innovative energy efficiency technologies on an industrial site, to prove that they work at scale in a real industrial setting.
Grants of between £150,000 and £1 million will typically be available for each successful project. Successful applicants can usually expect to receive between 40-60% funding towards eligible project costs, with the remainder funded by the applicant(s).
The programme is open to projects from all UK industry sectors that can demonstrate either a novel technology (targeting Technology Readiness Level 5-8), or the use of an established technology in a novel way.
Projects must include an industrial partner that will demonstrate the technology at their UK site, and (usually) a technology developer that has developed the new technology. Other project partners, such as research organisations, universities, specialist technology suppliers, and consultants, may be included in a consortium.
Phase 4 of the IEEA is open to applications until 19 September 2022 (15:00 BST).
