Many of the present suite of UK policies and research are based on a set of mega trends and uncertainties established in scenarios developed some time ago. There is a need to integrate the most recent developments into the work of ERP, its Members and the broader energy space.

Managing Flexibility Whilst Decarbonising the GB Electricity System
Considers increasing intermittent generation in amongst nuclear and CCS and the flexibility needed by the system operator.
Energy Options for Transport
Highlights issues for future transport energy options, including steps for deployment, and implications including interactions with wider energy sector.
Community energy and the low-carbon transition
Considers the motivations, costs, benefits and risks when using community energy as a means of increasing public engagement with energy usage and acceptance of energy infrastructure.
Prospects for CO2-EOR in the UKCS
There is a narrow time window to deliver CO2-EOR. Policy decisions made by 2017 on Phase 1 & 2 CCS will determine the extent that the benefits from CO2-EOR are realised.
Cities
ERP seeks to understand the gap between energy aspirations of UK cities and the regulatory / policy frameworks, processes and factors required to achieve them.
