Carolyn Dawson of Tech Nation says tech companies can make an impact on climate mitigation Tech Nation/Founders ForumHere’s the irony. While an important subset of tech entrepreneurs are focused on the mitigation of climate change, the innovation economy as a whole is playing a significant role in pushing emissions to ever-higher levels. From co-working sectors to server farms, computers are collectively consuming ever-increasing amounts of electricity, creating an enormous carbon footprint in the process.So what can be done? Well, U.K. energy provider Octopus Energy has joined forces with entrepreneur networking platform Tech Nation to relaunch an initiative designed to help businesses of all sizes cut their emissions while also providing climate tech startups with an opportunity to enter into conversations with CEOs, CTOs and government officials. Earlier this week I spoke to Tech Nation CEO, Carolyn Dawson, and Octopus Energy Product Marketing Manager, Rebecca Dibb-Simkin about the thinking behind the scheme and the potential opportunities for startups.First some context. Originally created as a government-backed body tasked with supporting innovation economy entrepreneurs, Tech Nation almost disappeared in 2023 when public funding was withdrawn

Octopus Energy will repay the UK government £3 billion ($3.8 billion) after receiving support for its takeover of Bulb Energy, which collapsed during the energy crisis. The government had paid about £1.6 billion to help Octopus buy energy in advance, resulting in a profit close to £1.3 billion. Octopus gained 1.5 million accounts from Bulb, securing its position as the top electricity supplier in the UK. This outcome is seen as a successful implementation of a special administration regime.

Wednesday, 17 April 2024Energy and technology group Octopus Energy Group has partnered with Energisa Group, a a prominent electricity and gas utility in Brazil, to advance the energy transition in South America’s biggest country.Designed to rapidly deploy cheap, green renewables at scale across Brazil, the partners will take a three-pronged approach – focusing on knowledge transfer, tech licensing and potential joint ventures.Octopus is a global energy and technology company that aims to drive the affordable, green energy system of the future through its retail brand, its investments in renewables and its proprietary technology platform, Kraken.Kraken has become the fastest growing energy software in the UK. The AI-enabled tech platform connects all dots of the energy value chain – from usage and industry data to weather forecasts – accelerating the rollout of smart energy products whilst ensuring smooth integration of assets like wind farms, solar and batteries.The market-leading platform also greatly reduces costs for suppliers and improves customer service levels. It is now contracted to serve over 54 million energy accounts across the world and manage over 38 GW across 180,000 green energy assets in 12 countries.Energisa is one of Brazil’s largest energy companies, serving over 8.5 million customers across twelve states. It is also a global leader in microgrid technology and has pioneered renewables-only systems in Amazonian villages such as Vila Restauração, freeing communities from their dependence on dirty and expensive fossil fuels.Through “(re)energisa”, the company’s innovative energy solution brand, Energisa Group holds 363 MWp of installed power in distributed solar generation and 93 operational plants in five states of Brazil and 71 MWp of centralised solar generation.Following the transfer of tech expertise, market insights and best practice examples, the companies will work together to optimise the management of Energisa’s batteries as well as solar farms, unlocking efficiencies whilst delivering greatly better service to customers.As a final step, the companies will explore the viability of potential joint ventures for Brazil which may include launching an energy retail business, bringing Octopus’ popular EV charging roaming services ‘Electroverse’ to the country and exploring different flexibility market models.Over 600,000 Brazilians are still without access to electricity, while one in ten (11 percent) of them are classified as living in energy poverty, meaning millions could benefit from innovation in the energy industry.“Octopus Energy and Energisa are linking up to learn from each other, especially how cutting-edge tech can benefit Brazil and how to drive sustainable solutions in rural communities” said Greg Jackson, Founder of Octopus Energy Group. “This is a massive opportunity and can serve as a blueprint for similar countries and places with high fuel poverty. Through a combination of methods, our budding partnership will help build the future green energy system in South America – with world-class efficiency and customer service at the heart.”For additional information:Octopus Energy GroupKraken

Tuesday, 27 February 2024The innovation is the next step in Octopus’ plans to rapidly accelerate the adoption of electric transport, following studies showing that electric planes - typically small two-seater planes that do short flights - have a lower climate impact compared to their fossil fuel powered peers.AeroVolt has charge points installed at seven sites in the UK, including at Bournemouth, Lydd, Dunkeswell, and Shoreham airports, with 12 more to come online soon. The disruptor is already in talks with nearly 70 more airports looking to have chargers installed.Electroverse – the biggest EV roaming service in the country – has revolutionised on-the-go charging for drivers of electric cars, removing the need for multiple apps to access different charge point brands through its ‘one card, one app’ model.Pilots who are also Octopus customers enjoy the added benefit of syncing up their public charging costs onto their existing home energy bill, in one simple payment.This move is the next step in Octopus Energy’s activities to help speed up the transition to green transport.
