Electron’s configurable market platform, ElectronConnect, allows electricity system and network operators, renewable generators, and flexible energy consumers to optimise their use of both variable renewable power and network capacity based on time and location.

We’ve spent the last 6 years developing our platform with 25 utility partners, across 5 countries, to create the world’s most advanced, end-to-end platform for low carbon energy grids.

Now, we’re using our platform to help network utilities in the UK, Europe, and North America to launch and scale local flexibility markets – growing our customer base, building strategic partnerships, and developing a broad ecosystem of providers.

More than 90% of power supply across the UK, EU, and North America will come from variable and intermittent generation, such as wind & solar. However, as these variable loads increasingly connect to distribution networks, this causes constraints and curtailment challenges.

Handling this increased volatility without relying on gas will require the live coordination of 1000’s of renewable generators and millions of demand side devices and assets. To be able to handle these changes, the challenge is two-fold – we need to simultaneously 1) build more grid, and 2) use the grid more effectively.

Our purpose at Electron is to accelerate the energy transition by unleashing renewable abundance.

Renewable generation and the flexibility needed to unlock its potential will fundamentally change our relationship with energy forever, giving the world access to zero-marginal-cost, zero-carbon energy 24/7, and create a new digital economy – accessible to everyone.
