This webinar will present learnings from ‘Matchmaker’, an innovation project exploring what a service connecting developers and communities could look like. With a government consultation on mandating shared ownership expected this summer, and GB Energy making it a key part of its Local Power Plan, this is a real opportunity for sector-wide impact.
Delivered by Regen, TPXimpact and National Grid Electricity Distribution, this project is funded through the Strategic Innovation Fund, an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with Innovate UK.
In this session, you will:
Your insight is invaluable and we would love to hear your thoughts, get in touch with Jessica Hogan.
Shared ownership models, where community organisations take an ownership stake in local renewable energy schemes, have huge potential to deliver greater local benefit and participation in the energy transition.
With a government consultation on mandating shared ownership expected this summer, and GB Energy making it a key part of its Local Power Plan, we believe Matchmaker has the potential to unlock a step change across the UK by making these connections easier, faster and more effective.
Over the coming months, we'll be engaging with developers, community organisations and wider stakeholders to understand what an effective matching service would need to deliver in practice.
Your insight is invaluable. We would love to hear your thoughts on how a service like this could work, the challenges it should address and the opportunities it could create.
If you're unable to attend the webinar, or would prefer a separate conversation, please feel free to get in touch with my colleague Jessica Hogan.
We look forward to engaging with you and shaping this exciting project together.
The Electricity Storage Network Annual Conference is a platform for key industry players and policymakers to gather and debate what’s needed to attract and maintain the billions of pounds of investment required for this crucial asset class – from supportive policy and regulatory frameworks to shifting revenue strategies and evolving business models.
With over 5 GW of grid-scale battery storage operational and a 3 GW pipeline of new pumped hydro storage projects, plus other technologies in development, grid-scale electricity storage is established as key to a zero-carbon energy system – a testament to the success of our 100+ members.
And with an ambitious Clean Power 2030 action plan for accelerated clean power, against the backdrop of significant grid connection and market reform, and a long duration energy storage cap and floor scheme, the role of storage and flexibility is more important than ever.
At the ESN Annual Conference you’ll hear directly from our members and key decision makers from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ofgem and the National Energy System Operator on the latest changes across a range of topics critical to the storage sector, including Clean Power 2030, the revenue environment, long duration energy storage, grid connection reform and fire safety.
This is also an opportunity to learn about the ESN’s work to ensure policy, markets and regulation are geared to enable the storage sector to flourish and grow at the pace and scale required while networking with 300+ industry leaders in central London.

The Electricity Storage Network is the industry group for electricity storage in Great Britain. Managed by Regen, it brings together more than 100 organisations and 500 industry professionals who are working to develop, operate and supply storage in the GB market.
Jess's research focuses on community energy and achieving a just transition. She is particularly passionate about finding avenues to more meaningfully engage and bring communities along on the net zero journey. Drawing on her background in academia, she leads Regen's stakeholder research support team, providing support and methodological guidance to ensure high-quality stakeholder research across projects.
I support government departments, local authorities and third sector organisations to make evidence-based decisions in the design of public policy and services.I have a particular interest in using participatory research and design approaches within work related to place, climate and culture. Over the past few years, I have:- Supported the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to understand how to maximise public engagement in the first UK Town of Culture competition- Worked with Repowering London to design and pilot a community retrofit service using a co-design approach - Led research to support the new local plan-making system for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government - Designed and delivered 2 x Citizens' Assemblies on Climate Change with local authorities across the UKI previously worked as a curator for almost a decade, designing and delivering research-led learning and community programmes. I am continually interested in how to bridge that gap by bringing creative approaches into spaces where they can have real impact.
A huge congratulations goes to all those shortlisted for the 2024 Green Energy Awards.
