Centrica, Dong Energy, SSE, Scottish Power, Statoil and Wood Group – Clean Energy (previously SgurrEnergy) have signed up to a new collaborative initiative, the Energy Systems Innovation Platform (ESIP), launched by the Carbon Trust.

The group aims to solve key issues preventing a more effective transition to a low-cost, low-carbon energy system.

ESIP has also received initial support from the Scottish Government and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO).
