Seed

The equity round was led by Green Angel Ventures and the Development Bank of Wales.

"Current carbon fibre material formats are expensive, hard to form into shape and highly wasteful with poor recycling routes. It is more expensive than aluminium and has a much higher footprint CO2e than steel, yet more than 90% end up in landfill."
— Gary Owen, Chief Executive
£4.0M

The funding round was led by East Innovate to support team growth and international expansion.

"We believe that time and location-based markets for energy and flexibility are foundational to the fastest, cleanest path to Net Zero energy. But, when Electron started developing these markets six years ago, the policies, business models and technologies required to support such markets were still unclear."
— Jo-Jo Hubbard, Chief Executive Officer
Series A
£5.0M
