Our take

Over the last few decades, a worldwide increase in understanding of the dangers of fossil fuels to our environment has led many homeowners and businesses to seek out clean energy providers. However, providing this at an affordable and consistent rate can be difficult for providers due to archaic energy portfolio management and trading systems.

Granular provides market solutions for 24/7 clean energy, helping providers and investors to source clean energy 24/7 through sub-hour price signal generation. The company presents this within a portfolio management platform and a trading marketplace, helping investors obtain and manage the energy certificates necessary to provide high-quality service for its clients.

Whilst many startups are attempting to enter the lucrative green energy market, Granular stands out as a unique player by recognising the obstacles that prevent energy providers from offering customers consistent and affordable energy prices. By making it easier for providers to manage and trade their energy investments, the company aims to contribute to a more sustainable and transparent future, improve the customer experiences of green energy providers, and help providers optimise revenue and customer retention.
