ESC21188 - Unlocking Clean Energy in Greater Manchester

Description

Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) are looking for external suppliers to support the successful
delivery of Unlocking Clean Energy in Greater Manchester (UCEGM).
UCEGM is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and will deliver
approximately 10 Megawatts (MW) of additional clean energy capacity to supply local
authority assets across Greater Manchester. It also aims to demonstrate innovative and
scalable energy business models, allowing greater
participation in the emerging Local Energy Market, reducing reliance on subsidy and
enabling future investment in clean energy. The project commenced in summer 2020 and
will run until the end of May 2023. UCEGM is led by ESC in partnership
with five Greater Manchester local authorities - Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport,
and Wigan. ESC have entered into a Grant Funding Agreement with the Ministry of Housing,
Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to deliver the
project including certain contracted outputs in the form of kilowatt hours of renewable
energy that will be produced and resultant tonnes of carbon dioxide that the project will
save. For further information see:
