Energy Technology Partnership
Glasgow, UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom

The Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) is an alliance of twelve independent Scottish Universities, engaged in world class energy related Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D).

ETP is the largest power and energy research partnership in Europe and promotes greater levels of collaboration between universities and industry to deliver unparalleled energy capability and core research strengths across a broad range of energy technologies but with a current focus on Wind Energy, Marine Energy, Grid, Power Systems & Networks, Solar Energy, Bio-Energy, Carbon Capture and Storage, Energy Conversion and Storage, Energy Utilisation in Buildings and Oil & Gas.

Coupled with research pooling, this provides an integrated energy technologies community that is providing strong leadership in the UK/EU/global energy arenas. The cohesion displayed by the Energy Technology Partnership is exemplary and provides a strong basis for collaboration with a wide variety of business, public sector and other partners. This has enabled ETP to build on its foundation of research excellence and increase its impact in the areas of Knowledge Exchange and Skills.

ETP’s network of Business Development Managers can share the emergent best practice between academia and industry and help Scottish SMEs identify the best possible support available.

Capacity Building
Deepening and broadening existing relationships and partnerships across ETP members to promote increased collaboration, thereby building additional energy related RD&D capacity in Scotland.

Relationship Building
Promoting the considerable expertise and capabilities within the ETP to develop new strategic partnerships with industry, academia and others.

Internationalisation
Projecting the scale and expertise of the ETP on the international stage in order to promote new outreach and knowledge exchange opportunities.

Economic Impact
Connecting the work of the ETP with Scottish Policy and economic development opportunities for Scotland.

With around 250 academics and 600 researchers, the Energy Technology Partnership (ETP) is the largest, most broad based power and energy research partnership in Europe.

ETP members currently lead or participate in energy related RD&D programmes and investments valued in excess of £300 million funded through Research Council UK, industry and government.

The members of the ETP are active across the spectrum of energy sectors (oil & gas, power generation, renewables) and also across all aspects of the RD&D pipeline, from conceptual and feasibility studies through to applied research, testing, development, demonstration and supporting commercial deployment.

The partners have strong industrial and academic links throughout the UK and internationally, with a track record for delivering successful commercialisation of new technologies through clearly focussed demonstration and development strategies underpinned by world-class research.
