Four National Grid projects have secured more than £5 million through the next stage of Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) programme, including a project that could reintroduce live working on the UK transmission network for the first time in a generation – supporting faster delivery and reducing system costs.
The projects span both the Discovery and Beta phases of the SIF programme, which supports the development and testing of new technologies and approaches to help transform Great Britain’s energy networks.
