The Greater Manchester Local Energy Market project is an innovation project led by GMCA and in partnership with 11 partners from community, technology, energy supplier and network operators.
Informed
Local Area Energy Plans provide an informed perspective from resident, business and network operators of where we need to generate renewable energy, where we need to retrofit our buildings, where we should place EV hubs and the impact this whole system approach may have on the grid (Network operators).
New
Value sharing Propositions (Energy Tariffs) will be designed and establish new tariffs that can be used by domestic and non domestic customers for heat and mobility.
Optimised
An energy trading platform will be specifically designed to support the region in maximising our intermittent energy generation, the Market Maker.
The market maker will control the onboarding of consumers to benefit from the proposed revised tariffs and will support the trading of energy between all consumers within the Greater Manchester region.
