National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is seeking collaboration with universities to support delivery of its innovation strategy over the next five years (April 2026 - Mar 2031).
The primary objectives during this period include facilitating the energy system transition (including Clean Power 2030 and net zero 2050) and providing support for vulnerable consumers.
University partners will be expected to contribute both resources and technical expertise to the development and execution of Research & Development (R&D)projects.
We expect universities to run projects within Technology Readiness Levels 2 to 8 which includes research, development and demonstration projects.
These initiatives will enable NGET to ensure a safe and reliable electricity network, enhance consumer value, achieve decarbonisation of future networks, and create a positive impact on society.
NGET will invite universities to propose new projects that address specific needs, while also encouraging the generation of innovative project ideas.
In addition to individual innovation projects, partners will play a crucial role in fostering innovation through strategic development, knowledge sharing and promoting an innovation-driven culture.
Knowledge sharing may include supporting NGET in running dissemination events across the energy sector and other industries to communicate the outputs, learnings and benefits from projects, as well as using these events to learn from others
