Who we are

We’re a team on a mission to revolutionise the way energy data is managed, accessed and used globally. The software we build aims to liberate the energy information crucial to energy innovation.

Through our strategy of delivering commercially valuable cloud native platforms that solve real problems right now, while primed for rapid evolution in the future, we work to deliver on our vision of creating a new energy future.

Our philosophy is to work together to bring together the best expertise both locally and globally, and to partner with other leading organisations, to push the boundaries of what is thought possible. We work on the global technology challenges created by energy decarbonisation, decentralisation, democratisation and digitalisation by codeveloping global energy data platforms in partnership with AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Our team values an attitude of determination, ingenuity, and resilience, combined with a positive and humorous outlook on life, even in the face of extreme adversity. We engage with our team, partners and customers alike, with humility and respect.
