The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) recently opened the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) Phase 3: Spring 2024 competition and is hosting a series of stakeholder clinics throughout the competition window to help and support businesses interested in applying for IETF funding. Our Virtual Technology Marketplace is also live and businesses can register now.
Businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland can bid for a share of up to £185 million in grant funding through the Phase 3: Spring 2024 competition window, which is open until Friday 19 April 2024. The competition will provide grant funding towards the costs of feasibility and engineering studies, energy efficiency deployment projects and deep decarbonisation deployment projects.

IETF stakeholder clinics
The stakeholder clinics help businesses planning on bidding for Phase 3 funding by enabling them to speak directly to DESNZ and ask questions around potential bids, scope of the competitions, eligibility criteria, how to apply for funding, the IETF support and information services available, etc.
They provide an excellent opportunity to engage with organisations directly and we welcome the chance to be able to talk to you and help with your queries. The clinics are run on a weekly basis with the next ones taking place on 2 April 2024 and 9 April 2024.
To register to attend our stakeholder clinics, please visit our registration site.
IETF Virtual Technology Marketplace
To support businesses interested in applying for IETF funding, we are running the Virtual Technology Marketplace, which offers industrial site owners (eligible manufacturers and data centres) the chance to browse videos showcasing the potential technology that can reduce the energy demand and emissions associated with their industrial processes.
If you are an industrial site owner, by signing up for the Technology Marketplace you will be able to see videos pre-screened to ensure only technologies eligible for the IETF competitions are featured. Covering both energy efficiency and decarbonisation technology areas, they will give manufacturers and data centre owners ideas and contacts for technologies that could be deployed on their industrial sites in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
To register for the Technology Marketplace, please visit our registration site.
