Welcome to our platform — a knowledge hub dedicated to exploring and sharing insights on the UK’s transition towards a low-carbon future.
Our journey began with a deep connection to the Customer-Led Network Revolution (CLNR) — a groundbreaking four-year smart grid demonstration project completed in 2014 by Northern Powergrid and its partners. This project played a pivotal role in shaping how electricity networks across the UK adapt to the challenges of decarbonisation, decentralisation, and digitalisation.
Through real-world trials involving genuine customers and operational networks, the CLNR initiative delivered invaluable findings about energy demand management, smart grid technology, and customer participation in shaping a more sustainable energy system.
What We Do Now
Building upon this foundation, our platform continues the mission by publishing blogs, analyses, and updates related to the UK’s low-carbon transition, smart energy systems, and future power grid innovations. We translate complex energy research and policy developments into accessible, engaging content for everyone — from professionals and students to environmentally conscious citizens.
Our Focus Areas
- Low Carbon Transition: Exploring how the UK is reducing emissions and transforming its energy landscape.
- Smart Powergrid Development: Covering technologies, projects, and policies that enable smarter, more efficient electricity distribution.
- Project Library & Insights: Sharing curated reports, data, and findings from past and current research projects.
- Customer-Led Innovations: Highlighting the importance of consumer engagement in building a sustainable energy future.
Our Vision
We aim to create an online resource that not only informs but inspires action — helping individuals, communities, and businesses understand their role in the net-zero journey.
Join us as we continue to explore the lessons from the past, innovations of the present, and opportunities of the future in building a smarter, cleaner, and more resilient power system for the UK.
