Juicy is on a mission to turn millions of homes into the world’s largest distributed battery network. We install smart home batteries with zero upfront cost, rewarding the homeowner annually. Each battery not only lowers costs and keeps the lights on during outages, but also connects into Juicy’s virtual power plant — a gigawatt-scale resource that strengthens the grid and accelerates the transition to clean energy. For consumers, Juicy means affordability, predictability, and resilience. For the grid, it means flexible, distributed storage that balances renewables and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. And for partners and investors, it unlocks a scalable opportunity at the intersection of energy, technology, and sustainability. Save money. Support the grid. Build a greener future. That’s Juicy.

Caldera is here to make zero-carbon heat the norm. We’re a pioneering start-up developing technologies that pave the way for a faster & smoother energy transition. Our systems turn sunshine and wind into heat on demand. They achieve best-in-class efficiency and are cheaper than battery storage. Consequently, they make it feasible to rely entirely on renewable energy to provide 24/7 clean heat. In addition, they improve safety and cut maintenance costs – eliminating emissions for good. We’re a small, highly experienced team adept at developing new products – and the manufacturing processes to build them at scale. With a diverse set of skills, interests, and backgrounds, we’re connected by our passion to find viable climate solutions. We’re always on the lookout for new partnerships to promote the widespread adoption of our technologies for global impact. So, if you’re a prospective industrial customer with potential use cases for our product – we want to hear from you. Get in touch to have a conversation to help shape the development of our products to fit your needs. And discover how we can work together to achieve your decarbonisation goals.

At elmo, we want everyone to drive an electric vehicle as soon as possible. We believe that new technology should benefit everyone and work for a brighter, cleaner future for us and our planet. Transport contributes 26% of all UK carbon emissions – the largest of any sector; and all models suggest that ‘electrification’ is the most viable and inevitable solution to this. Our platform is designed to remove the cost and complexity from switching to an electric vehicle. Not only can you ‘subscribe’ to an electric car on a flexible, monthly basis (like Netflix and Spotify); you can also add a ‘bundle’ of services to your subscription to fit your lifestyle and preferences. These include: public charging, home charging, insurance, maintenance and even the energy required to run the car! This makes us the world’s first platform to offer ‘total cost of ownership’ (TCO) car subscriptions. You don’t have any cost for your car outside the single payment you make to elmo each month! We make switching to electric quick, easy and affordable. By switching, you can join us in taking a big step to becoming part of that solution and to leaving the planet in a better state than when you arrived.
