A discovery-phase project funded by Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) will explore how microgrids can help bring down emissions from industrial and commercial sites in the north east.

Led by Northern Powergrid, LCP Delta and Newcastle University, project VOLT (Vector-Optimised Microgrid Operations for Industrial Low-carbon Transition) will look at how microgrids can combine renewable energy, storage, hydrogen, and smart technologies to deliver cleaner, more flexible, and reliable energy at high-emission sites such as ports, airports, and manufacturing hubs.
