The findings of the SmartHubs project have the potential to be replicated on a UK-wide scale. This will be assisted by the project's involvement in the PFER programme. 

With expertise ranging from software development for electric vehicle smart charging or domestic heating systems, to community engagement specialists – Prospering from the Energy Revolution (PFER) has a wealth of collaborators aiming to trial and test innovative approaches to developing Smart Local Energy Systems.

PFER is a £102m programme funded by the Industrial Strategy Clean Growth Fund and directed by UK Research & Innovation. Projects are aiming to prove investible business models, with success evaluated on whether they can:

• Leverage 10 times’ the investment
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the 5th carbon budget
• Reduce end-consumer bills by up to 25%
• Create world-class consumer experiences
• Demonstrate national and international scale-up and replication.
