The ETI Journey - Review of Learnings

Abstract:

The ETI was established in December 2007 with a ten-year remit to accelerate the development, demonstration and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies in the UK. It was the first time that a partnership model comprising major multi-national companies and the UK Government had been tested in the energy sector as a means of driving innovation. It was positioned to focus on the so-called "valley of death" between early stage research and development and commercial deployment. As the end of the ETI’s operational life approaches (the end of 2019), now is an appropriate time to reflect on the ETI journey so far and to assess what this might mean for UK energy innovation in the future. In that context, this document has two key purposes: To identify the key learnings from the operational experience of the ETI. To assess how these learnings might objectively inform energy innovation delivery vehicles in the UK in the future. This document also gives recommendations based on key learnings extracted by its findings and observations in the areas of: ETI's PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model, cultural identity, organisational effectiveness, delivering innovation, and delivery impact.
