Support: Paid utility pilots; co-creation with consortium utilities; bootcamp and master modules; commercial contract pathway

A global energy accelerator run jointly by a consortium of major utilities including EDP and E.ON, matching scaling energy startups with utility partners to co-create and run paid pilots. The structure spans a virtual pitch event, an in-person bootcamp in Lisbon, a master module in the UK and a grand finale. Focus areas include renewables, energy management, asset optimisation, thermal solutions, grid stability, energy storage, customer engagement and transport electrification. Value is delivered through utility pilots and commercial contracts rather than direct investment; the programme reports more than $23M in deals generated to date.
