The eight new projects set to receive funding use AI technology to help consumers and businesses improve their energy efficiency and cut energy costs.<\/p>\n
They will receive a share of \u00a31.73m to develop and scale up AI technology to support the UK\u2019s transition to clean energy.<\/p>\n
The funding is part of the government\u2019s Artificial Intelligence for Decarbonisation Innovation Programme<\/a>. This supports the development of AI technology in the UK\u2019s energy transition.<\/p>\n The programme is part of the \u00a31bn Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, cementing the UK\u2019s leadership in AI and decarbonisation.<\/p>\n Minister for AI Viscount Camrose said: \u201cAI is the defining technology of our generation and the UK is harnessing its enormous potential to improve public services, ramp up productivity and tackle shared global challenges, particularly climate change.<\/p>\n \u201cThis funding backs brilliant British innovation to drive forward new AI solutions which will help us reach our net zero ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n The funding will support projects to address decarbonisation challenges in three sectors:<\/p>\n The winning projects that will deal with generation, demand, transmission, and distribution of electricity, include:<\/p>\n The university is receiving \u00a3263,378 to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting for solar energy and manage renewables for the electricity grid.<\/p>\n The team will use ground-based cameras and satellite images to analyse cloud cover and movement, forecasting solar energy<\/a> production.<\/p>\nThe winning projects<\/h3>\n
