The project covers evaluation of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF). The IETF is an important fund set up to support businesses with high energy use to cut their bills and reduce carbon emissions. The UK Government announced £315 million of funding in the 2018 Autumn Budget. The funding is available over the period to 2024. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) will manage the IETF, with £289 million to invest in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Scottish Government will administer £26 million for investment in Scotland and will publish its plans for the funding in due course. IETF Phase 1 launched on 29 June 2020. The Phase 1 competition will open on 20 July and will run until 28 October. The competition closing date will be kept under review due to the Covid-19 situation. The budget for Phase 1 is up to £30m, to be spent primarily on ready-to-go energy efficiency projects. There will also be money available for feasibility and engineering studies for both energy efficiency and deep decarbonisation projects. Phase 2 will open in 2021, with the remainder of the funding, to be invested in the above projects but will also support the deployment of 'deep decarbonisation' projects.
