[Professor Yulong Ding, Director, Supergen Energy Storage Network+] Launched in September 2019 and now with 11 universities, 19 investigators and 34 supporting partners, we connect UK researchers in energy storage and decarbonisation. We are the UK Supergen Energy Storage Network Plus. 

[Haris Patsios, Stakeholder Engagement & Knowledge Transfer Lead] Through our network, we are a creating a dynamic, forward-thinking and sustainable platform, connecting and serving people from diverse backgrounds across the whole energy storage value chain. Energy storage and its benefits for our energy system, including society and the wider economy, can only be fully unlocked if we operate outside silos.

[Jihong Wang, Deputy Director, Supergen Energy Storage Network+] A hub that brings people together from academia, industry, government and the society to deliver practical pathways for change.

[Norihan Mohd Taib, Project Manager, Supergen Energy Storage Network+] In the ever evolving landscape of renewable energy, Supergen leads the charge with cutting edge research and technical brilliance.

[Siân Dutton, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Lead] We are passionate about ensuring a vibrant and diverse community within the Suergen and beyond. This brings about positive growth and development within the sector.

[Paul Shearing, Early Career Researcher Engagement and Mentoring Lead] The energy storage community in the UK is extremely vibrant and our early career researchers are the engine room of much of our world leading research. The Supergen network is supporting the development of early career researchers across disciplines to develop the next generation of leaders in academia, industry and government.

[Edward Barbour, Early Career Researcher Representative for Supergen Energy Storage Network+] The UK being a global leader in the development of large scale, low cost energy storage and the opportunities and growth here is why I really look forward to my career ahead. I have been supported throughout my research and career, from mentorship to dedicated funding opportunities for early career researchers.

[Joanna Coleman, Chairperson for Industrial Advisory Board for Supergen Energy Storage Network+ ] The ESN+ helps stakeholders to look forward to what the next customer technology could be and to plan to use flexibility to manage the grids and deliver investment in grid upgrades and new connection points.

[Seamus Garvey, Expert in medium-duration storage] One of the things that Supergen has done extremely well over these past four or five years is highlight the huge need for medium duration energy storage. Supergen has helped to pick out the huge importance of technologies like compressed air, liquid air and pumped thermal energy storage, which are going to be really important in our net zero future.

Together, we shape a world powered by innovation and a commitment to a sustainable future.
