Centre for Energy Sustainability (CES)

Centre for Energy Sustainability (CES) develops practical, evidence-based solutions for sustainable energy systems, flexibility, resilient communities, digital energy, and innovation-led impact. We work across infrastructure, markets, data, communities, and policy to turn high-quality research into real-world collaboration, funded projects, decision-support tools, and measurable outcomes.

CES helps shape, strengthen, and deliver collaborative research and innovation projects across UK and international funding schemes, including proposal co-development, consortium building, technical leadership, and impact design.

Energy systems, flexibility, and digital transition advisory

CES provides expert support on sustainable energy systems, local flexibility, smart charging and V2X, resilience, market design, digital tools, and data-led decision support for industry, public bodies, and place-based partners.

Knowledge exchange, policy engagement, and capacity building

CES translates research into practice through policy insight, stakeholder workshops, executive briefings, training, keynote talks, and collaborative engagement with communities, government, and industry.
