💡Ofgem's streamlining the process for access to innovation funding💡 ⚡Dan Clarke, our Head of Innovation, said: "We really welcome the changes Ofgem are bringing in. These will improve access to funding and speed up innovation projects for innovators. Most importantly, the result of this should be felt by customers who will ultimately see the benefit of this investment in our energy infrastructure." ⚡ 👇

We hosted Gary Waite along with 3 of ENA's members representing Northern Powergrid, UK Power Networks and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks in our office for the next episode of the Gary Does Solar podcasts☀️   The podcast originated from Gary's desire to help others through the process of solar panel installation, but today Gary and the members are discussing some common questions from customers and installers around solar power and the UK's energy networks.   Look out for our contribution in a future episode by following Gary Does Solar here 📺 https://lnkd.in/ewaEGbqx
