The Energy Innovation Fund will support energy innovation projects that:

• provide innovative technological solutions to support the energy transition.
• solve key policy challenges.
• contribute to a thriving innovation ecosystem in the ACT.
• are based in the ACT and ensure investment in local jobs and expertise.
