In December 2021, DfE published the Energy Strategy for Northern Ireland – The Path to Net Zero Energy and one of the commitment statements within the Energy Strategy is: “We will produce a comprehensive energy evidence programme to inform policy decisions”. Furthermore, our commitment to establishing a robust evidence base has been highlighted in the DfE Research Programme 2024-27 published in July 2024.
The department is now seeking energy related proposals from the research community to address its research needs and build the evidence base to deliver the Energy Strategy.
Further information on this open call is available in the documents below.
The deadline for submissions is 3.00pm on 30 August 2024.
