Case Study – Investment Firm
Case Study

16 Jan 2026
A growing investment firm needed to diversify its energy portfolio. They didn’t want to rely on a single energy buyer, as this could expose their revenue to market risk.
Their goal was to spread contracts across multiple buyers to avoid dependency on any one provider. However, finding a trusted partner who could offer both fair pricing and reliable performance in an often complex and uncertain energy market proved challenging.
Outcome of Partnership
Assured Pricing with Flexibility — UrbanChain offered an 85% minimum hourly match guarantee at £79 per kWh, providing consistent revenue and minimising exposure to price volatility.
Enabling Energy Independence — UrbanChain’s unique market positioning gave the firm confidence to operate efficiently, aligning generation with demand and maximising returns from their renewable assets.
Results
- 6,000 MW of hourly energy supply generated from one site, delivering clean energy directly to the grid.
- 100% cost savings to supply their own energy. As a generator, the firm incurs £0 energy costs and earns revenue instead.
