Axle Energy

Axle Energy builds software infrastructure for a decarbonized grid. The company connects distributed energy assets to electricity markets so that flexible demand from homes can replace fossil fuel power plants. Its work spans machine learning, energy demand forecasting, optimization and scheduling algorithms, grid flexibility and demand response, electricity market integration, and API-based backend infrastructure.

The Axle flexibility platform is a modular B2B backend product that links assets such as EV chargers, heat pumps, solar panels and home batteries to electricity markets, orchestrating devices to absorb excess renewable energy and reduce consumption during grid stress. It is integrated via API or white-labelled for energy suppliers, OEMs and asset owners. Separate machine learning software forecasts energy demand and optimises device scheduling, paying users for participating in grid events while reducing carbon emissions and cutting costs. The platform controls hundreds of thousands of energy assets.

Operating in Great Britain, Axle Energy reports an industry-first milestone: approval to flex distributed assets directly in Great Britain's wholesale electricity market. The company's stated focus is decarbonisation and the replacement of fossil fuel plants with flexible demand, with an emphasis on consumer benefit and cost reduction through payments for participation in grid events.
