Grant
Energy Entrepreneurs Fund
A competitive DESNZ grant fund for UK SMEs developing prototype low-carbon technologies — typically efficiency, heat, storage, or generation — where the business case is plausible but the technology is not yet bankable. Projects normally combine grant for prototype build or pilot deployment with structured incubation support. Run as discrete competition rounds rather than continuously, and orientated around tangible energy-system impact rather than pure research.
