## Summary

The SBRI for the NZIP Energy Storage Programme: Longer Duration Storage Demonstration (Stream 2) is overseen by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy based in London, England. This initiative seeks to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative longer-duration energy storage technologies through a funding opportunity of £30.5 million. Key dates include the end of the bidding period, which is set for 13 August 2021, and the anticipated contract period starting from 30 November 2021 to 31 March 2024. This project is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on energy storage solutions capable of providing flexible grid services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in energy storage technology at TRLs 4 and 5. Companies involved in developing innovative electrical or thermal energy storage solutions have the potential to benefit, especially those that can demonstrate first-of-a-kind prototypes or offer novel services to the electricity system. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially catalysing their growth and contributing to the UK's net zero goals.

## Notice
