Abstract
The UK is facing an energy crisis on three fronts: climate change, energy security, and affordability. The energy price crisis in particular, further exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, has made both energy security and affordability front page news. UK public policy and debates on how to solve this crisis have largely focused on fixing energy supply, e.g. by finding alternatives to oil and gas imports, speeding new nuclear build, addressing onshore wind planning legislation, and promoting a switch to heat pumps and electric vehicles. Much less attention has been given to how we can reduce energy demand to help this effort.
Yet, energy demand reduction is fundamental in solving the energy crisis, and needed for improving energy security, reducing household energy bills and addressing climate change. The UK has set a target to become a Net Zero society by 2050, and research conducted by the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS) shows that reducing energy use could help meet half of the required emissions reductions needed by 2050.
The energy challenge requires a fundamental change in our society, to enable a deep energy demand reduction and wide use of low-carbon technologies, supported by policy, businesses and the public alike. While this poses a challenge, it also provides an opportunity for the UK to become a global leader in energy demand reduction, and associated research.
As Energy Demand Research Co-Champions we will develop the next phase of energy demand research in the UK via an open and wide-reaching consultation process with research, policy, industry, business, NGOs and community organisations. We will build on previous research findings to identify what more can be learnt from those, and which new research questions should be answered. We will work together with a range of people and organisations to develop a Centre of excellent and meaningful research that has real-life impact. Our aim is to co-lead a Centre that is collaborative, innovative, diverse and creative, championing energy demand research in the UK and beyond.

| Description | The Energy Demand Research Co-Champions Prof Mari Martiskainen and Prof Sara Walker undertook an extensive stakeholder engagement and co-investigator selection process to develop the proposal for the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC). This process resulted in the main outcomes of EDRC research themes (Futures, Flexibility, Governance, Place and Equity) and work programme across the 12 participating universities. The centre proposal was succesfully funded in July 2023. The key outcomes were also of the Co-Champions meeting and engaging with key stakeholders to promote the new centre's plans and proposed work. |
| Exploitation Route | As a result of this award and its outcomes, the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) was funded by UKRI in July 2023. |

| Description | The outcomes from the award have resulted in the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) being succesfully funded, ensuring a smooth transition from the Champion stage to the centre-funding stage. This has meant that EDRC has had the benefit from the Co-champions engagement stage in promoting energy demand research, building networks and taking previous work forward developed in other research centres such as CREDS. |

| Results and Impact | In 2019, an independent review strongly proposed that a public participation strategy for the UK's transition to net zero was essential to the successful adoption of low-carbon measures by UK communities and to the fulfilment of the government's UK policy for net zero. However, no such public participation or public engagement strategy exists as yet. This roundtable, under Chatham House rules, asked how we can bring household and community policy together with NZ policy, technology, innovation and investment. |

| Results and Impact | Mari Martiskainen was invited by C-Dice to present at this event which focused on how to achieve policy impact as researchers. C-DICE hosted this exclusive, one-day event in Westminster where researchers and academics can delve into energy and net zero policymaking in the UK, and gained invaluable insights on how to effectively engage with policymakers in Parliament. Other speakers at the event included Chief Scientific Advisor Paul Monks, House of Commons Committee Clerk Stephen McGinness, Keith Bell of the Climate Change Committee, Senior Library Clerk at House of Commons Library Suzanna Hinson, SCI group technology director Andy Walker, COE of Faraday Institution Martin Freer, and CTO of Energy Systems Catapult John Saltmarsh. Mari presented on a topic: "Experiences from developing research to inform Net Zero policymaking". EDRC was asked for further meetings with the House of Commons Library after the event, which took place on 20 November and focused on discussing EDRC's Equity theme and recent report on "Addressing fuel poverty: what are the relative benefits of public spending on direct bill support or energy efficiency?". HoC found the report and linked policy brief useful in preparation of a report on fuel poverty. There are also plans for further engagement with Energy Systems Catapult. The organisers provided the following feedback from participants at the event, who explicitly mentioned how useful Mari's talk had been, including the selection of topics, pace and style of delivery, way of communicating the content which was easy to understand and relate to, real life lived examples for case studies that will be useful for them and how 'genuinely passionate the speaker' has been with the presentation as well as the research behind it. |
