Driving a fair and transparent PPA ecosystem

Our intelligent, data-driven PPA platform is coupled with expert consultancy so generators can maximise revenues and minimise risk, while  offtakers can easily source renewable power.

With a more connected and transparent PPA market we’re making it simpler to trade renewable power, opening up more opportunities to decarbonise the grid.

We follow strong values that drive and motivate us

Renewable Exchange was founded in 2016 by Robert Ogden with a goal of improving the power trading market.

It is now the largest online platform connecting renewable energy generators and buyers to ensure a transparent and data-driven power trading process in the UK.

The Renewable Exchange PPA marketplace enables generators of any size to fully optimise and transact the sale of their electricity. It is now trusted by more than 1,000 independent generators in the UK representing over 6.5 GW of installed capacity.

Working in the PPA industry, Robert Ogden realised that the renewable energy operators are at a disadvantage with little access to information about the power market and embedded benefits:

“I saw the opportunity to build a tech solution which would let people have that information and use it to contract PPAs quickly and easily online, all in one place.”

The huge success of the platform is seen through client endorsements and recommendations.

“Nearly every other new customer registering on our platform comes through a referral. This speaks volumes about the value we deliver.”

Today, Renewable Exchange is the market-leading digital platform for PPA tendering and management. It has recently launched in Germany with plans to expand to other European countries over the next few years.
