Energy Demand Research Centre

Tagged:
  • Climate Change
  • Community and Social Inequalities

The Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) addresses the unique opportunity to realise benefits from energy demand reductions in industry, businesses, transport and homes.

The project runs from July 2023 to June 2028 and is exploring the delivery of integrated technological and social change to rapidly reduce emissions, secure prosperity, reduce inequality and improve quality of life.

Our research programme is arranged in five main interdisciplinary research themes of Futures, Flexibility, Place, Governance and Equity.

ECEHH is part of the equity theme delivering insights on different energy demand and governance solutions, and examining how these may directly and indirectly impact different individuals, households, communities and regions.

The theme cuts across different quality-of-life measures relating to, for example, health, job and employment quality, real incomes and the cost of living.

It also examines how these interact with specific issues such as fuel and transport poverty, and the justice aspects of different energy demand reduction solutions.

Partners include University of Sussex, Newcastle University, Cardiff University, University of Edinburgh, Imperial College London, Lancaster University, UCL, University of Leeds, University of Manchester, University of Reading, University of Strathclyde, University of Surrey, and the University of Birmingham.

Full information about the project can be found at www.edrc.ac.uk. and you can follow all updates with @EDRC_UK.
