Company mission
To accelerate the transition to clean energy by turning your flexibility into profit.
Our take
Traditional energy trading methods can lack the flexibility and adaptability to navigate the complexities of modern energy systems. As a result, valuable resources remain underutilised, hindering the transition towards cleaner energy sources and impeding progress towards environmental sustainability.
To tackle this, Enspired offers a trading-as-a-service platform powered by AI, enabling efficient optimisation of energy assets in real-time. By leveraging digital technology and advanced algorithms, Enspired empowers energy stakeholders to maximise the value of renewable energy and storage assets while enhancing grid stability.
Through this approach, Enspired not only drives profitability for clients but also contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions. Recent Series B funding will support accelerated growth, with a roadmap that includes expansion into key markets in Asia and the US. It will also solidify its operations across Europe, with projections indicating it could enable 50GW of flexibility by 2035.
