The UK's renewable energy operating system
Connecting businesses directly with renewable generators through half-hourly contracts — traceable, affordable clean energy at scale.
Breaking the energy monopoly, making renewables mainstream
Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Manchester, UrbanChain has built an Ofgem-licensed energy platform that uses intelligent matching and verified provenance to connect renewable generators directly with consumers on a half-hourly basis.
Intelligent matching to connect renewables
Machine-learning models match half-hourly demand to supply, and enable every kWh to be traced to source.
Infrastructure-grade scale
From data centres and EV networks to commercial estates and local authorities — reliable, long-term renewable power for high-demand users.
Private energy markets
We decouple businesses from the volatile wholesale market — delivering pricing stability, transparency and true net-zero outcomes.
No middleman. Prices set by contract,
not the wholesale market.
UrbanChain removes the wholesale middleman entirely. Generators sell directly to consumers through our platform — insulating your business from volatile wholesale pricing with stable contracts.
Investment-grade counterparties, infrastructure-scale agreements
A growing portfolio of contracted generation and offtake agreements — institutional-grade execution across the UK's renewable energy market.
Offshore Wind PPA — Major European Generator
UrbanChain's largest PPA to date — a multi-year operational offtake with an investment-grade European renewable generator, taking total contracted Scottish generation to an all-time high.
Centrica Energy — Onshore Wind
Integration of Centrica Energy's UK wind generation into UrbanChain's operating layer. A Cambridgeshire onshore wind asset matched to local demand in real time — creating a fully traceable energy market.
Major London Data Centre — Clean Energy Agreement
UrbanChain's first data centre client — a multi-year clean energy agreement providing renewable power to a major Greater London facility. Hour-by-hour verified proof of origin for tenants including financial services and AI companies.
Proven at scale, validated by the market
Independently validated by the UK's leading business and technology programmes.
Real outcomes across diverse energy use cases
Data CentresClean energy for AI & financial infrastructure
A major Greater London data centre required provable clean energy for tenants including financial services and AI companies. UrbanChain delivers renewable energy with verified proof of origin — not just paper certificates.
Local Energy MarketRhug Estate — community energy in North Wales
UrbanChain built a local energy market at the organic Rhug Estate in North Wales. On-site wind turbines power the farm, restaurant and local services including search-and-rescue — a model for community energy independence.
Investment / GenerationDiversifying buyer risk for a renewable portfolio
A growing investment firm needed to diversify its energy portfolio and reduce reliance on a single buyer. UrbanChain provided access to multiple creditworthy offtakers, reducing market risk while securing competitive long-term revenue.
