The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)

The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) stands as a leading institution dedicated to conducting world-class research into sustainable future energy systems. Functioning as a critical focal point for energy research within the UK, UKERC also serves as a vital gateway connecting the national energy research community with its international counterparts. Its work is characterized by an interdisciplinary, whole-systems approach, ensuring comprehensive insights into complex energy challenges.

UKERC's research plays a crucial role in informing policy development across the United Kingdom and shaping the strategies of public, private, and third-sector organizations. The Centre produces influential publications, such as its flagship "Review of Energy Policy," which offers in-depth analysis and commentary on key developments in the UK energy sector. Furthermore, UKERC addresses pressing contemporary issues through its policy briefs, exploring topics like equitable and economically viable approaches to financing Net Zero through consumption taxes, as well as working papers that delve into research priorities for industrial demand flexibility.

By fostering collaboration and disseminating knowledge through its various outputs—including research reports, news, and events—UKERC actively contributes to advancing the understanding and implementation of sustainable energy solutions. The Centre is proudly funded by The Research Councils UK Energy Programme, operating under the umbrella of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), which underscores its commitment to robust, publicly supported research for a sustainable energy future.
