RetroMeter Alpha

RetroMeter Alpha project

This project will provide and demonstrate a consistent methodology to accurately measure the energy and cost savings of retrofit energy efficiency measures, unlocking pay-for-performance financing, increasing uptake and leading to reduced costs for consumers and additional flexible services for the DNO.

Electricity North West began delivery of this two-month project in April 2023 alongside partners Energy Systems Catapult, Energypro Ltd, Carbon Co-Op and Manchester City Council. 

The expected key outputs for the Alpha phase:

  • A Metered Energy Savings (MES) methodology that effectively addresses the problem statement and has the potential to realise new economic and social benefits from increased retrofit activity. 
  • Exploration and quantification of the viability of the income streams and other measureable outcomes relaised by the innovation that were identified in Discovery, synthesised into viable, replicable business models.
  • Detailed plan for Beta phase pilot activity.
  • Broadened stakeholder engagement and participation in the development of the innovation and policy influence and insight to support future sectoral adoption of the mature innovation.
