Electron

Electron was founded on the belief that energy systems of the future would need digitally optimised marketplaces rather than large scale new generation capacity, in order to deliver Net Zero in a cost efficient and resilient way. By combining the founders knowledge of energy markets and experience in building digital trading platforms, Electron set... out to meet this requirement, working collaboratively with existing and emerging market participants to create the first digital energy marketplace. Since establishment in 2015, Electron has engaged in eight network optimisation projects in four countries, involving partnerships with major energy industry players including National Grid ESO, EDF Energy, Shell and London Hydro. Based on these successful projects, the ElectronConnect platform has been selected to support marketplaces for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, National Grid ESO in the UK and London Hydro in Canada. Electrons technology is currently deployed in a first-of-its-kind, real-time, local marketplace in Orkney, with two further markets under development to be deployed in the next 6 months. A future with a highly dynamic and flexible grid, where millions of distributed assets can easily interact and contribute to a more efficient, clean, and resilient energy system Electron has core competencies in: Electron has an established track record of successful projects with utilities, system and network operators globally, which have already enabled grid innovation unlocking of value opportunities, and the creation of new business models for market participants.Read More
