29、s for innovation.These innovation priorities all share three common principles,forming the foundation of all innovation activity and aiming to drive value for all energy consumers.Innovation should create value for the whole systemInnovation should be customer focusedInformation on innovation should

30、 be widely disseminatedOfgems innovation principlesThe changing innovation landscapeOfgem and Innovate UK are collaborating on the new Strategic Innovation Fund(SIF),which replaces the Network Innovation Competition(NIC)in the second RIIO price control period.With450mavailableoverthenextfiveyears,th

31、e vision for the SIF is to enable a giant leap together in network innovation,helping to deliver Net Zero at the lowest cost to consumers by enabling strategic change.Working with other public funders of innovation,the SIF aims to deliverrealnetbenefitstonetworkcompanies,energy users and consumers,a

33、the energy system transition and addressing consumer vulnerability.The network companies have now set their innovation priorities in their RIIO-2 business plans and know how much money they can spend on innovation projects in this period.Typically,the networks use their own funds to transition an in

36、Innovation Strategy This shared strategy is intentionally high-level because we want to use it to inspire and excite the innovation community without being too prescriptive.The strategy is centred around three overarching network innovation objectives.These are the three consumer-facing outcome cate

37、gories set by Ofgem that underpin all network innovation activity.The underlying network innovation principles apply to all innovation activity and should be considered at all stages of an innovation project.The shared network innovation themes are the priority innovation areas for all networks and

38、ensure a shared strategic direction.Network innovation projects must fit under one of thesethemes to ensure they are focused on solving our biggest challenges.To add clarity to the project ideas we are seeking,we have identified key focus areas within each of these themes.These focus areas have been

39、 developed with our stakeholders and aim to help innovators better understand how they can collaborate with us.ThemesPrinciplesObjectives,themes and principlesNetwork innovation strategyCarbon impactCollaboration and stakeholder engagementConsumerbenefitData and knowledge sharingImplementation and d

42、tion to analysing these environmental factors,there are other ways that innovation could look to improve the environment.For example,where real-world trials are carried out as part of our innovation activities,projects should aim to improve the environment of the trial site and surrounding area.Inno

44、rojects should aim to have a positive impact on carbon emissions.Following feedback from our stakeholders,we have modifiedthisprincipletonowexplicitlyincludewiderenvironmental impacts.We recognise that we have an important role to play in providing additional environmental benefits,for example by en

45、hancingbiodiversity.The impact of our innovation activities in terms of both carbon and the environment must be analysed and assessed.Some projects,such as safety or cyber security innovations,may have very little direct environmental and carbon impact.However,where we do have an environmental impac

46、t,we will strive for this to be positive without compromising the project objectives.It is good to see the carbon impact principle has been broadened to encompass wider environmental impacts(e.g.biodiversity enhancement,natural capital increase,etc.)Stakeholder feedbackActing on the climate and ecol

49、on will result in new ideas,shared learning and avoid duplication.An energy network stakeholder is any individual,group or organisation that has an interest in the future of our energy system.For example,this includes:Government and regulatory bodies.Non-energy utilities and wider industry.Research

55、grid connections.Collaboration and stakeholder engagement10 Energy Networks Innovation Strategy PrincipleEnergy consumers comprise anyone who connects to one or more of our gas and electricity networks,uses energy or pays an energy bill.We recognise that consumers are individuals whose needs and pri

56、orities will change depending on where they live and work.We will be working to ensurethatthespecificneedsofourconsumerswithineachofournetworkregionsarereflectedinthe innovation projects that we run.We will also seek to communicate our innovation work with our consumers,minimising any disruption the

57、y may cause.Where consumers are directly involved in innovation projects we will ensure we are transparent,open and accessible in all our communications.A cornerstone of all our innovation activity is exploringnewandmoreefficientwaysofworkingto support all our consumers in two key ways:Financiallybe

58、nefitourconsumersbyreducingenergy costs.Ensure equity and fairness for our consumers as we transition to Net Zero.Network innovation activity should ultimately benefit consumers financially,supporting them in a just transition.Consumer BenefitPutting consumers at the heart of innovationWith all our

59、innovation activities we seek to put consumers at the heart of our decisions,and we understand that their needs change dynamically.Working collaboratively with all the network companies,Wales and West Utilities have recently developed the Consumer Vulnerability Impact Assessment Tool.This easy-to-us

60、e tool will be employed by all network companies to evaluate the potential impact that innovation projects may have on consumers in vulnerable situations.By including this analysis in the early stages of each innovation project,we can more easily identify how to maximise the potential benefits of an

61、 innovation project for ourconsumers whilst mitigating any adverse impacts.This will enable us to deliver better outcomes for consumers in vulnerable situations in the transition to Net Zero.Innovation projects can deliver a wide range of benefits to our consumersA more reliable energy supplyInclusi

80、ered to think creatively and explore new ideas to drive value for all our consumers through improved products,services or processes.All network companies are committed to further developing a culture of innovation that is tailored to each network company.Some of the ways we are doing this include:Ra

81、ising and maintaining the profile of innovation across our organisations.By showcasing the variety of our innovation activitiesandthebenefitsthesehavebroughtto our consumers,we want to encourage our people to think about solving challenges in a collaborative,agile and innovative way.We will encourag

82、e people from across all areas of the network companies to get involved by holding events such as hackathons,collaboration days and innovation think-tanks.Driving stronger links between the network companies,including through our innovation teams and other areas of our organisations.In many cases,in

84、opriate,innovation projects will be sponsored by a senior member who can provide support to the delivery team and help to ensure its success by mitigating risks and roadblocks.Embracing an environment where innovative thinking is encouraged will enable greater creativity to accelerate our journey to

85、 Net Zero and this is recognised by the support our stakeholders showed for the inclusion of this new principle.“There is no innovation and creativity without failure.Period”-Bren BrownBusiness-as-usual involves following tried and testedprocessestoachieveaknown,quantifiableoutcome,whereas innovatio

89、ons,all projects should aim to have a positive impact on carbon emissions.Following feedback from our stakeholders,we have modified this principle to now explicitly include wider environmental impacts as well.Although we already aim to reduce the impact our activities have on the environment,we agre

90、e with our stakeholders that this should be highlighted in the definition of the principle.The impact of our innovation activities in terms of both carbon and the environment must be analysed and assessed.There may not always be direct environmental or carbon benefits for some of our innovation proj
