With a 20+ year history of driving energy markets forward, SmartestEnergy is an established, robust organisation with a wealth of experience connecting generators to customer demand and empowering the net zero transition.
In this blog, Angus Widdowson, Head of Generation Sales, shares our growth plans and provides an insight into the robust support from our parent company, Marubeni, highlighting our efforts to support generators and create a fairer, more sustainable energy system.
Providing a viable route to market through partnership
Since establishing as an aggregator of independent generators in 2001, SmartestEnergy Limited has provided a competitive route to market for a customer base of 400+ independent generators spanning the length and breadth of the UK.
However, we understand that the energy market isn’t just about buying and selling energy; ultimately, it’s about people and relationships. We work in partnership with our generators to provide the knowledge, insight and technology to help them grow. With a range of standard and bespoke power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy generators large and small, we work closely with our customers to help them manage risk, diversify revenue streams and enhance their ability to sell power.
Robust support from Marubeni Corporation
We are proud to be owned by the Marubeni Corporation, a global powerhouse ranked No. 157 on the Global Fortune 500 list, with over 49,000 employees across all company groups. Marubeni’s extensive resources and financial strength provide us with a stable foundation, allowing us to focus on growth and innovation. Additionally, their support empowers us to navigate energy market volatility confidently, assuring our customers that we can meet all contractual terms for the full contract duration, even when faced with the most challenging times.
Leveraging Marubeni’s global reach and expertise, we have expanded our operations beyond the UK, opening offices in the United States and Australia. This international presence, combined with Marubeni’s innovative approach and financial backing, positions us as a resilient and bankable partner you can trust.
Navigating industry challenges with innovative solutions
The green energy sector faces several challenges, including regulatory hurdles, technological barriers, and market competition. Navigating the complexities of an evolving energy system requires continuous adaptation and innovation. With the robust backing of the Marubeni Corporation, we are well-equipped to tackle these challenges head-on.
We stay competitive by seeking strategic partnerships and expanding our market presence. This stability allows us to manage market volatility, offering long-term contracts and stable pricing to our customers, instilling peace of mind and confidence in our services. Together, we collaborate to overcome industry challenges, setting new benchmarks for excellence and sustainability, and empower the net zero transition by driving positive change in the system.
