LinkedInElectrification stalled because electricity got expensive
Business electricity tripled in real terms since 2004. Gas did not. So the cheaper fuel is still the dirty one.
So we start with the price
Each step pays for the next.
- 1
Open the data
Sharing your energy data should be as easy as sharing your live location.
- 2
Make the market shoppable
Visible prices, instead of bespoke quotes with commission buried inside.
- 3
Move demand to the cheap hours
Use more power when wind and solar are generating.
- 4
Then electrify everything
When the cheapest fuel is the clean one, nobody needs persuading.
Cheap power first. Everything else follows.
The Path to Energy Transparency
How the UK energy market evolved, and why businesses need a clearer way to manage energy data today.
1986
The UK government starts privatising the energy market, signalling the end of state-controlled energy.
1989
The Electricity Act is passed, giving businesses the choice on energy suppliers and the ability to look for deals that best fit their needs.
2001
Ofgem, the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets, is formed to protect the interests of consumers.
2010
The UK initiates the rollout of smart meters, providing businesses with real-time energy usage data, enabling better energy management and cost-efficiency.
2010s
The energy market diversifies with an increase in suppliers, and energy brokers emerge offering comparison websites but often with opaque fee structures.
2022
A global surge in natural gas prices, supply shortages, and rampant inflation lead to the collapse of numerous energy suppliers. UK businesses grapple with energy bills 2–3 times higher than in 2019.
2023
Allegations of hidden commissions being paid to energy brokers by energy companies surface. Law firms are preparing class actions on behalf of SMEs who may have been mis-sold energy contracts.
2023
VoltView is launched. The VoltView team engages in consultations with SMEs and conducts further market research to explore how SMEs could benefit from using their energy data.
March 2024
VoltView is a finalist in the Smart Data Innovation Challenge by the Department for Business and Trade, Challenge Works, ODI, and Smart Data Foundry.
April 2024
VoltView becomes part of the Project Perseus initiative by Bankers for Net Zero, aiming to automate SME emissions reporting and unlock green finance.
July 2024
VoltView begins developing Open Energy solutions inspired by Open Banking to improve data transparency and accessibility.
May 2025
VoltView is named a finalist in the UK government's Smart Data Challenge Prize, working to build a Smart Energy Marketplace funded by the Department of Business and Trade.
