DECC Electricity Demand Reduction Pilot

Phase II launch

We are delighted to announce that Phase II of the EDR pilot is now open for registrations.

If you’re thinking of improving your motor or pump systems, replacing your old light fittings with LED’s or any making any other improvement to your building or electrical equipment which will deliver lasting electricity savings at peak times you could be eligible to take part. A total of £6million is available.

We have also improved the rules to make participation easier:

•       the minimum project size has halved to 50kW
•       Choose between installing within 8 months or 20 months - with delivery of savings in either Winter 2016/17 or Winter 2017/18.
•       More scope for projects to develop over time, and for you to make changes to your successful project according to business need. This includes being able to bid in for a lower amount of savings than the maximum your project can offer.
•       Simpler evidence requirements, including project level payback and baseline information after application. 
•       An early payment after installation (up to 20%)

Visit our webpage for full guidance and to register. The deadline for registering is 03 September 2015 and full applications by 15 October 2015.  Once you are registered we will let you know about the workshops and other help available to develop your project.
