Enleashed works openly to understand difficult problems, agree what better systems should look like, and map the changes required to get there.
But evidence, legal work, pilots, technology, campaigning and institutional change all require resources. This page shows what each mission needs next, what funding would unlock, and where help can make the greatest difference.

Deliver
Measure
Every figure below comes straight from the mission's live delivery plan. Where something hasn't been costed yet, we say so rather than guessing.
Re-architect how energy is priced, procured, and coordinated across the grid.
Current critical path: Ofgem licence/rule change enabling AMM-based settlement
Next thing funding unlocks: Independent replication
Modernise public-sector delivery through digital systems, incentives, and accountability.
You came here to fund this mission
Align productivity, energy costs, and innovation incentives for sustainable growth.
Every funding request below answers one question: what will this allow us to do that we cannot do today?
£50,000
UnfundedIndependent replication & peer review
Unlocks: Independent technical validation required for credible Ofgem and DESNZ engagement — without it, any regulatory conversation stays anecdotal.
Fix the energy market · supports "Independent AMM pilot on a live network segment"
Indicative estimate — not yet independently costed.
£50,000
UnfundedLegal and regulatory pathway analysis
Unlocks: A clear answer on whether implementation can proceed through licence or code modification, or requires primary legislation — removes the single biggest pathway uncertainty blocking every other regulatory step.
Fix the energy market · supports "Confirm whether primary legislation is required"
Indicative estimate — not yet independently costed.
£150,000
UnfundedSIF discovery-phase project
Unlocks: An 8–12 week discovery project with a network operator to test technical feasibility, the regulatory pathway, expected benefits and pilot design — the standard first step before a full pilot bid.
Fix the energy market · supports "Independent AMM pilot on a live network segment"
Indicative estimate modelled on published Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund discovery-phase grant sizes — not a submitted bid.
£250,000
UnfundedAMM pilot build and operation
Unlocks: A working pilot operating the AMM mechanism against real or shadow load — evidence a regulator or network operator can act on, not just a simulation.
Fix the energy market · supports "Independent AMM pilot on a live network segment"
Indicative estimate, likely route: Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund or equivalent, following a successful discovery phase.
£20,000
UnfundedPublic explainers and communications
Unlocks: Plain-language explainers and briefings that make the case understandable to non-specialists — without this, the mission depends entirely on people who already read regulatory documents.
Fix the energy market
Indicative estimate — not yet independently costed.
£30,000
UnfundedCoalition and stakeholder engagement capacity
Unlocks: Capacity to run structured engagement with the decision makers, delivery bodies and potential opponents mapped in the delivery plan, rather than ad hoc conversations.
Fix the energy market
Indicative estimate — not yet independently costed.
Fix the energy market · supports "Ofgem licence/rule change enabling AMM-based settlement"

Fix the energy market · supports "DESNZ policy support for an AMM-based market design pathway"

We don't want money disappearing into organisational machinery. We want it connected to visible work.
Fund outcomes, not organisational sprawl
Money should be connected to defined work and mission outcomes — a change item, a milestone, a piece of evidence — not to keeping an organisation running for its own sake.
Transparent use of funds
Where practical, we publish what's required, what's secured, which workstream it sits in, who's delivering it, its status, and what it produced.
Minimum administration
Fundraising and grant administration stay proportional to the money involved. Money intended for the mission should reach the work.
Independence
Funding should not purchase control over evidence or conclusions. Funders may support work. They should not be able to dictate results.
No hidden conflicts
Material funding relationships are disclosed.
Fair pay
People doing serious expert work should be paid fairly. This shouldn't depend indefinitely on unpaid labour.
Open evidence where possible
Public-interest research funded through Enleashed should normally produce publicly inspectable outputs, subject to privacy, security and legitimate commercial constraints.
Public innovation funding
Strategic Innovation Fund-style programmes, research programmes and innovation grants aimed at testing new infrastructure and mechanisms.
Philanthropy
Foundations or individuals interested in public-interest systems reform rather than a financial return.
Academic / research funding
Research councils, universities and collaborative research programmes, particularly for evidence and validation work.
Industry partners
Organisations that benefit from testing or enabling the proposed reform — network operators, suppliers, generators.
Commercial capital
Where a mission produces commercially scalable infrastructure or technology, and commercial terms are appropriate.
Community / individual backers
People who simply believe the work needs to exist.

If you are an individual, company, foundation, investor, public body or funder who can help move one of these missions forward, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us which mission interests you, whether you're interested in a specific workstream or the wider mission, roughly what level of support you're considering, and whether you can contribute expertise, introductions or delivery capability as well as funding.
