Connects home energy devices to markets
At Axle Energy, we’re building the infrastructure that will underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.
We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.
We’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Energize Capital and Accel.

Connects home energy devices to markets
Axle Energy connects distributed home energy devices—such as EV chargers, batteries, and heat pumps—to European electricity markets so suppliers and hardware makers can monetize flexibility as a virtual power plant. Its API and white-label tools let partners aggregate demand-side response, lower consumer energy costs, and support grid decarbonisation across regulated European markets. The company differentiates itself by focusing on the integration of household assets with a scalable European-market platform, enabling partners (energy suppliers and hardware makers) to rapidly deploy demand-side flexibility through a unified API and white-label solutions. Axle aims to scale its flexibility platform and expand market coverage to drive more value from distributed energy resources while aiding grid decarbonisation.
