We are committed to building a future energy landscape that works harder for people and the planet
Pioneering research to deliver a fast, fair and affordable energy transition.
We’re an impact-driven research unit, founded by Octopus Energy.
Solving the world’s most pressing challenge
Working at the intersection of tech, energy and climate best positions us to advance the global energy transition. We collaborate with world leaders and innovators in technology and academia to co-design the future energy system – and wherever possible, we share our research in transparent and open formats so that it can be used by others.
Consumers
