About Orennia
Orennia provides an all-in-one platform for accurate data, predictive analytics and actionable insights across the energy transition. We drive faster capital allocation decisions and help our clients maximise returns across the solar, wind, storage, power, clean fuels and hydrogen sectors. The technology that powers Orennia’s platform delivers an unparalleled experience, distilling information into actionable insights to give our clients a competitive edge.
Britain is rebuilding its electricity system. The 2021–22 gas price crisis showed how exposed homes and businesses are to volatile global fossil fuel markets, and the government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan aims for clean sources to produce at least 95% of Great Britain’s electricity by 2030, backed by an estimated £40 billion of investment a year. Increasingly, the grid sets the pace: connection queues, network build-out and rising constraint and curtailment costs will decide which projects get built and what they earn. Without accurate data and predictive analytics, developers and investors will struggle to deploy capital efficiently and maximise returns. Orennia’s platform gives them robust information for smarter capital allocation choices.
