UK Energy Research Centre Phase 4

Lead Research Organisation: University College London

Abstract

The UK energy system is changing rapidly. Greenhouse gas emissions fell by 43% between 1990 and 2017, and renewables now account for 30% of electricity generation. Despite this progress, achieving emissions reductions has been difficult outside the electricity sector, and progress could stall without more effective policy action. The Paris Agreement means that the UK may have to go further than current targets, to achieve a net zero energy system.

Reducing emissions is not the only important energy policy goal. Further, progress need to be made whilst minimising the costs to consumers and taxpayers; maintaining high levels of energy security; and maximising economic, environmental and social benefits.

There is a clear need for research to understand the nature of the technical, economic, political, environmental and societal dynamics affecting the energy system - including the local, national and international components of these dynamics. This proposal sets out UKERC's plans for a 4th phase of research and engagement (2019-2024) that addresses this challenge. It includes a programme of interdisciplinary research on sustainable future energy systems. This is driven by real-world energy challenges whilst exploring new questions, methods and agendas. It also explains how UKERC's central activities will be developed further, including new capabilities to support energy researchers and decision-makers.

The UKERC phase 4 research programme will focus on new challenges and opportunities for implementing the energy transition, and will be concerned with the three main questions:
- How will global, national and local developments influence the shape and pace of the UK's transition towards a low carbon energy system?
- What are the potential economic, political, social and environmental costs and benefits of energy system change, and how can they be distributed equitably?
- Which actors could take the lead in implementing the next stage of the UK's energy transition, and what are the implications for policy and governance?

To address these questions, the research programme includes seven interrelated research themes: UK energy in a global context; Local and regional energy systems; Energy, environment, and landscape; Energy infrastructure transitions; Energy for mobility; Energy systems for heat; and Industrial decarbonisation. The proposal sets out details of research within these themes, plans for associated PhD studentships and details of the flexible research fund that will be used to commission additional research projects, scoping studies and to support integration. A first integration project on energy and the economy will be undertaken at the start of UKERC phase 4.

The research themes are complemented by four national capabilities that form part of the research programme: an expanded Technology and Policy Assessment (TPA) capability; a new Energy Modelling Hub; the UKERC Energy Data Centre; and a new Public Engagement Observatory. Research within TPA and the Observatory will align and integrate with the main research themes. These four capabilities will also enhance UKERC's ability to provide evidence, data and expertise for academic, policy, industry and other stakeholder communities.

The UKERC headquarters (HQ) team will support the management and co-ordination of the research programme; and will also undertake a range of other functions to support the broader UK energy research community and its key stakeholders. These functions include promoting networking and engagement between stakeholders in academia, policy, industry and third sector (including through a networking fund), supporting career development and capacity building, and enhancing international collaboration (including through the UK's participation in the European Energy Research Alliance).

Planned Impact

Building on our strong track record of delivering impact during previous phases, UKERC will continue to advance internationally leading interdisciplinary research on energy systems, maximise UK capacity, and engage broadly with our key stakeholders and the energy research community. The impact objectives for UKERC phase 4 are to:

1. Provide evidence to help the UK and devolved governments develop and implement the low carbon pathways necessary to meet their carbon targets, in line with the Paris Agreement.
2. Provide opportunities to the UK energy research community, building UK capacity, developing new agendas and delivering outputs of international importance.
3. Provide academia, policy-makers, industry, third sector organisations, and practitioners with timely research that can be easily and effectively used to inform decision-making.

UKERC's approach to impact will also focus on dynamic interactions between actors and their wider networks, including:
- Policy-makers and parliamentarians, through tailored engagement activities that provide insight into options, consequences, costs, and potential limitations of future energy policies.
- National and international researchers and organisations with interests in energy research, including academia, UKRI funded Centres and other Government funded research institutes.
- Industry through UKERC research reports, facilitating participation in future research needs workshops with the research community, and through access to a network of acknowledged experts, including those outside UKERC's research programme.
- Civil society and publics with interest in energy issues and climate change, through the dissemination of independent research on contemporary energy issues, issuing press releases to inform media debates.

A programme of activities will be implemented to increase the impact of UKERC's research and engagement activities with these communities. UKERC's communications and international strategies will be revised early in phase 4. All strategies will contain monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks, which will enable continuous impact assessment and evaluation, and for lessons to be learnt and fed back into UKERC's operations.

Description All key findings from UKERC are reported in UKERC's six monthly reports to UKRI. We also provided UKRI with a Mid Term Review report in autumn 2022. The executive summary of this report provides some of the material reported in this section.

Phase 4 has seven interdisciplinary research themes, that span global issues to local scale energy system change. Our research has led to 95 journal articles and numerous working papers, consultation responses, blogs and media appearances. Our research on the geopolitics of transformation is now directly informing a conversation about gas system security that draws upon UKERC analysis going back to Phase 2, attracting significant media interest and engagement with the UK Parliament, BEIS, FCDO and the Cabinet Office.

Our theme on local and regional energy includes analysis of network regulation that has directly informed innovation funding and argues that network operators should be incentivised to demonstrate positive social value throughout business plans. A new multi-regional version of UK TIMES underpinned the Government's response to Climate Change Committee advice on Carbon Budget 6, and the UK Net Zero Strategy. Work on the environment is informing the
development of the BEIS regional net zero hubs and assesses the environmental implications of global energy scenarios.

Our infrastructure theme has informed analysis of policy design for net zero and extensive engagement with BEIS in their Review of Electricity Market Arrangements. It underpins our 'pot zero' CfD recommendation, that features in the UK government energy security bill and was endorsed by the energy industry. Our theme on energy and mobility provides a unique approach to the interface of energy system and transport. This work is closely interrelated with our theme on the decarbonisation of heat, which has published an open-source model and a publicly available database for half-hourly heat demand profiles across England and Wales. Research on the quantification of flexibility from the domestic heat sector across England and Wales is currently underway. A flexible fund project is generating critical evidence on how heat decarbonisation actions will affect lives and livelihoods across the UK.
Finally, our work on industrial decarbonisation is providing new insights on the impact of high gas prices, given the reliance on CCS and blue hydrogen in many industrial decarbonisation plans.

The Modelling Hub, Energy Data Centre (EDC), Public Engagement Observatory and Technology and Policy Assessment (TPA) capabilities play a central role in UKERC activity. The Modelling Hub aims to ensure that energy modelling can deliver the insights needed by policy and industrial decision makers, and that drive towards increasing levels of transparency. A ground-breaking survey across the landscape of UK energy models, was widely disseminated, collating 76 models,
and receiving plaudits from BEIS, the National Infrastructure Commission and others. The EDC provides a comprehensive showcase of UK energy research and is an invaluable tool for researchers and other stakeholders. EDC datasets have been accessed nearly 80,000 times in the first three years of Phase 4. The Public Engagement Observatory is pioneering a new approach to the challenges of public engagement with energy and climate change. It has undertaken an unprecedented analysis of over 500 cases of public engagement, launched an online database and dedicated website, published on methodology and undertaken collaborative experiments with the public and private sector in the UK and internationally. The TPA undertakes evidence reviews. Projects are ongoing on materials scarcity and heat pump cost reductions. A review of 'green jobs' highlights job creation from renewable energy and energy efficiency and is cited
in the UK Government Green Jobs Taskforce and Environmental Audit Committee inquiry into green jobs.
Exploitation Route UKERC regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that outputs and outcomes are discussed, and opportunities for follow up activities are identified. The work informs UKERC submissions to calls for evidence from National Governments or Parliamentary bodies in the UK and to non-departmental bodies such as the Climate Change Committee and National Audit Office. We regularly provide commentary through blogs and Policy Briefs, as well as in the media. UKERC has a long track record of impact of the form of substantive contribution cited in policy reports. We expect that this will continue as the current funding phase progresses. UKERC was actively engaged with COP and the Net Zero Strategy in 2021, our work on electricity market design informed the 2022 Energy Bill, we also had strategic input into energy security concerns, industrial decarbonisation and other topics. We expect that our outputs and engagement will continue to inform the energy policy and wider transition conversations, involving a wide range of stakeholders, for years to come.

Description Impacts of UKERC's findings are summarised in our regular six-monthly reports to UKRI. We provide 13 impact case studies in the UKERC Mid Term Review report submitted to UKRI in autumn 2022. We also provide details of all impacts on policy and wider society in the appropriate sections detailing engagement and impact. UKERC has continued to contribute extensively to policy and select committee consultations, published Policy Briefs, hosted workshops for policymakers and other stakeholders and featured in a wide range of traditional and social media outlets. We aim to take a leading role in the conversation around energy in the context of net zero and our extensive engagements and citation in policy reports and/or outputs from Parliamentary and non-departmental bodies. Our focus on the energy crisis has taken place through new research and engagement activities related to gas prices, electricity market design, and demand response. Examples of impact include direct input to UK government COP26 campaign that helped secure the 'phase down coal' commitment, and ongoing work on gas security and electricity market design. Our impact stories also include matters as diverse as the biodiversity impacts of solar farms, supporting open data, EDI and network innovation funding. UKERC has made a significant contribution to the analytical base, through access to and development of models, and through their application to heat and industrial decarbonization. Our impact is strongly supported by a proactive conventional and social media effort, with widespread coverage in print and broadcast as well as blogs, podcasts and Twitter. Notable examples include: Brexit and net zero briefing paper: 'Brexit Implications for UK Decarbonisation Objectives' in June. This highlighted key areas of UK-EU climate and energy policy that required attention and called for a renewed spotlight on Brexit and energy. The publication was reported in the media (see media highlights below) and disseminated via the UKERC podcast. A survey of UK and EU stakeholders has subsequently been undertaken to further ascertain the impact of Brexit on energy and climate change policy, and on the EU-UK relationship. Supporting the COP26 Energy Transitions Campaign: UKERC actively supported work on the UK Government Energy Transitions Campaign through a secondment to the Cabinet Office COP26 Unit. This provided analytical and strategic input to the unit, with a particular focus on enhancing investment in low carbon generation and integrating renewable energy into electricity systems. The work helped to support two key areas of UK government COP diplomacy, the Powering Past Coal Coalition and the Green Grids Initiative. Significant announcements in both areas were made during the COP negotiations as part of wider UK Government strategy to build supportive coalitions of countries in key sectors. UK electricity market design: Ongoing work on electricity market design and investment that involves Theme 4, the Director, and two Flex Fund projects continues to produce outputs and impacts. Following on from the co-funding secured from SSE, a discussion paper 'Risk and investment in zero-carbon electricity markets' was published in November 2021 to coincide with Science and Innovation Day at COP26 and was promoted by SSE. Officials at BEIS subsequently invited UKERC to co-develop four workshops on long-run electricity market design, that helped inform the Review of Electricity Markets Consultation. UKERC responded to the consultation and interaction and engagement with relevant stakeholders including HMG, Ofgem, NGESO and others is ongoing. Building on UKERC analysis on REMA, a ground-breaking UKERC 'pot zero' paper shows how households could save over £22bn (£300 per household), if existing nuclear and renewables were brought under a CfD arrangement. Over the summer of 2022 UKERC was invited to brief on our analysis at official and ministerial levels, in BEIS and other parts of government. Enabling legislation is included in the 2022 Energy Bill. UKERC has a long standing interest in and expertise on gas security. Future gas security is the subject of the first Energy Security and Net Zero briefing due for publication in spring 2023. This will produce a 'UK Gas Security Strategy' that will deploy a supply chain approach previously developed by UKERC to assess upstream security of supply issues, the reliance and adequacy of the mid-stream infrastructure and the downstream challenges in terms of the drivers of future demand. UKERC has provided expert evidence to Parliamentary Committees, including the BEIS Select Committee hearing on UK energy security and the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee enquiry on energy security. We have also provided insight into policy discussions in relation to gas security with UK government. There has also been substantial engagement with the media to improve public understanding of the causes and consequences of the current gas crisis, such as the opinion piece Mike Bradshaw wrote for the Guardian "The UK's reliance on gas imports leaves us vulnerable to unpredictable prices." UKERC outputs featuring in UKRI COP materials: As part of their COP26 work, ESRC delivered two COP26-related case studies for the UKRI website. Once of these focused on the research led by Christian Brand, which considered how 'active travel' (walking, cycling, e-biking) can contribute to tackling the climate emergency. Alongside the case study, this research generated a large amount of media coverage, was picked up in multiple outlets both in the UK and internationally, and featured prominently on 'transport day'. In addition to the case study and testament to our film-making skills three UKERC branded videos featured on the UKRI stand at COP26, including a Community Energy Resilience video from UKERC Phase 3 featuring on the Adaptation, Loss and Damage Day, and our more recent Green Jobs video featuring on Finance Day, and our Energy Research for Net Zero featuring on Energy Day. Engagement is delivered through a range of means. UKERC has a wide ranging and highly engaged Advisory Board and is represented on committees and boards across a wide range of organisations, including other academic consortia, Ofgem, the Climate Change Committee, Net Zero Buildings Council, ESC and NIC, bringing UKERC perspectives to a wide range of contexts. Engagement with HMG takes place across many areas of work across multiple departments of state. We have a long-standing close working relationship with the Climate Change Committee and meet regularly with the National Audit Office, the National Infrastructure Commission and Ofgem. We actively engage with the devolved governments. Interactions with industry are wide ranging, encompassing associations such as Energy UK, Renewables-UK and the Association for Decentralised Energy, and leading companies, some of whom have co-funded our work. We have strong engagement with academic partners, coordinating two cross consortia meetings and engaging through UKERC workshops, events and outputs. We also have long-standing links with NGOs and think-tanks, regularly participating in their activities, and joining stakeholder groups, with notable UKERC contributions to the Citizens Assemblies. International engagement includes leading UK participation in the European Energy Research Alliance and steering that relationship through Brexit. We interact with the International Energy Agency, participate in UK-government led initiatives through country embassies and take part in international research initiatives. In short, UKERC provides evidence based analysis that is used in the policy discourse and policy development. We also take an active role in convening engagement and interaction between academic, industry, third sector and government stakeholders. This is why we can list a large number of engagement activities and impacts on policy and society.

Title UKERC Energy Model database 
Description Analysis of the energy transition is dominated by energy modelling, so - like them or loathe them - energy models are here to stay. We believe that transparency is key to ensure the implications (and limitations) of energy models are fully understood by decision makers. This transparency covers three key areas: How the model is managed: who built it, who funds it, how open is it? What is in the model: how does it solve, how does it deal with time and space, what sectors and technologies does it cover? What are the model's inputs and outputs: what external drivers it uses, what key insights it gives, what impacts has it had? So, to facilitate greater understanding of the breadth of energy models in use, and to increase transparency we have launched a ground-breaking survey of all the energy models in the UK. This is coordinated via UKERC's Energy Modelling Hub, which is advised by a Steering Group of key stakeholders (UKRI, BEIS, Scottish Government, Northern Ireland Government, Committee on Climate Change, Energy Systems Catapult, and the National Infrastructure Commission). The major findings will be initially communicated by putting interactive diagrams/tables on the UKERC website. Contributing modelling teams and our Steering Group will receive further in-depth analysis of the range of UK energy models.

Organisation Committee on Climate Change (CCC)
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Charity/Non Profit 
PI Contribution We are working with Lancaster University, the Climate Change Committee, and Shared Future on a Citizens' Panel on Home Energy Decarbonisation. The panel brings together 25 citizens across the Birmingham area to understand what government and people can do to take action on climate change in their homes, with sessions taking place between April and June 2022. The collaboration is part evaluation of the Citizens' Panel initiated, and part demonstration experiment exploring what difference the Observatory's approach to and mappings of participation might make to the design, practice and evaluation of the Citizens' Panel. Specifically, under the terms of the Observatory's demonstration experiment, this collaboration goes significantly beyond standard questions of good deliberative process design to include two novel considerations. First, the experiment draws on the Observatory's mappings to explore how the citizens' panel fits into the wider landscape of public engagement on climate and energy issues, and how the research team reflect this landscape in process design and result presentation decisions. Second, the Observatory team prompts and considers how the organisers navigate process design and result interpretation challenges in light of the latest thinking around reflexive participatory practice
Collaborator Contribution Collaborative design, delivery, reporting, and evaluation of citizen's panel.
Impact Changes in the design, delivery, evaluation, and reporting of the citizen's panel - shaping participatory practice. Forthcoming UKERC Briefing documenting experiences from the citizen's panel.
