Microgeneration Research Project (2007/S 71-087290)

Consumer behaviour and future potential of microgeneration

The DTI, along with some funding partners (the consortium), have issued invitations to tender for some research work. The aim of the research/analysis is to provide a robust evidence base to inform the future direction of microgeneration policy. The market for microgeneration is changing rapidly, and DTI need up to date analysis of consumer demand, costs and the supply potential, in order to inform policy decisions.

Part A (Lot 1) of this project should provide an overall picture of the current and potential future level of demand for microgeneration, and to examine barriers and drivers for take up of microgeneration.

Part B (Lot 2) should build on EST research which provided estimates of the cost and future potential of microgeneration. The aim of this research is to create an economic model of supply and demand for microgeneration, which can be used to model the impact of different policy regimes, cost and demand sensitivities.

If you have been invited to tender and have any questions, please email micro.generation@dti.gsi.gov.uk

Any questions should be sent to the email address above. Questions asked and answers provided by 10 July are accessible from our FAQs page. The site will be updated regularly to include the latest questions that have been asked, so please check it frequently. We will also email a copy of all the questions and answers to companies who have expressed interest in the programme by 12 July.
