Our take
For the UK to progress towards net zero, it needs to dramatically increase the use of renewable and low carbon energy sources. Egg is a company helping businesses, public-sector organisations and consumers to make this transition and reduce their carbon emissions.
Getting businesses to adopt low-carbon energy is paramount, as they represent the biggest energy-consumers, which is why the company has focussed on large-scale solutions like solar and electric vehicle systems for business customers. That said, it also delivers a home EV charging point on a subscription basis, which is a unique approach to encourage the switch to electric cars.
Launched in 2022, Egg is still relatively new on the scene, but it has nonetheless garnered a lot of attention and is growing fast. Its backing by Liberty Global Ventures gives it capital to play with, and it will be interesting to see what disruptions it delivers next.
