Smart local energy systems (SLES) can intelligently and locally link energy supply, storage and use, and power, heating and transport in ways that dramatically improve efficiency. This paper undertakes a meta-study of the technologies deployed, leadership and extent of user engagement achieved in SLES initiatives undertaken in the UK from 2009-2018. An extensive review of literature revealed 122 SLES projects that have received some form of funding, deploy multiple vectors (heating, power or transport) and have an element of'smartness' to them that includes innovative use of data, digitalisation or innovative energy management systems. Meta-data analysis reveals that more than 50% of the SLES projects were undertaken in Scotland and Southern England where grid constraints are prevalent. Nearly 30% of the projects were led by district network operators (DNOs) or energy suppliers and 27% were led by private sectors, while only 19% of SLES were undertaken in collaboration with community energy groups, local authorities and/or universities. Less than 50% of SLES projects had some form of user engagement through public events and workshops. Learning from this meta-study can inform the next generation of SLES projects that have been funded under the£ 102 million Prospering from the energy revolution programme.
