Our take
Sunsave is building what replaces your energy supplier. The Big Six sell power from a grid that gets more expensive every year - Sunsave believes the future of energy is decentralised, and they're building the company that brings that to the masses.
The national grid is creaking, only 40% of a household's energy bill is actually used; the rest is grid cost, levies and policy costs. Even if wholesale energy prices drop, bills will keep going up for decades, so people are paying for a problem they didn't cause and can't control.
As energy decentralises, home energy is unbundling: a different company for the install, another for monitoring and maintenance, another for the financing, another for battery optimisation and trading. Sunsave's bet is that whoever puts it all back together into a single bill and a joined-up customer experience wins.
Founded in 2022, Sunsave lets people switch without paying anything upfront, and offers an all-in-one package with kit, installation, finance and long-term protection. Battery optimisation and grid trading lets customers charge when energy is cheap and sell it back when it's expensive, balancing the grid, earning money while they sleep and pushing their bill towards zero.
And traction shows this bet is paying off, with Sunsave raising £113M in a Series A in 2025 that helped them grow 3x that year, with growth accelerating even further in 2026, placing them on the top 20 of Sifted's fastest-growing UK startups list two years running.

Company values
- We're changing how people power their lives: We know that only doing what’s familiar or easy isn’t going to get us there, so we’re unashamedly ambitious and set audacious goals. We’re excited by the hard problems that come with accomplishing something difficult, and we do whatever it takes to get closer to achieving our mission
- We start with the customer: We’re here to help real people, so their voices are at the centre of everything we do. We know that we can’t create a hugely successful business without building things that people really love. So everything we do starts with us asking: ‘What’s best for the customer?’
- We make it happen: We act with urgency, constantly prioritising to make sure we channel our energy into what matters most. We believe every problem has a solution, and we take ownership to figure it out. When we don’t have perfect information it doesn’t slow us down: we act, learn and adapt
- We drive each other to be exceptional: We’re one team, made stronger by supporting each other, sharing openly, and holding ourselves and each other to the highest standards. We prize honest constructive feedback, and we value fresh perspectives and respectful differences of opinion. We win, lose and learn together, and don’t let silos or egos get in the way
