About the UK Energy Research Centre
The UK Energy Research Centre carries out world-class research into sustainable future energy systems. It is the hub of UK energy research and the gateway between the UK and the international energy research communities. Our interdisciplinary, whole systems research informs UK policy development and research strategy
The Centre was established in 2004, following a recommendation from the 2002 Energy Review (see p146) initiated by Sir David King, the UK Government's Chief Scientific Advisor.
UKERC is funded by the Research Councils' Energy Programme. The Centre was 
funded for an initial five years and in May 2009 was awarded a further round of funding for another five years.
