What if businesses could stop being price takers in the energy market and start taking control of their energy future? In this episode, the entire VECKTA founding team celebrates its $11 million Series A funding round and explores why on-site energy is becoming an increasingly important business investment. Gareth, Dan, Felipe and Calvin discuss rising electricity prices, growing demand from data centres and electrification, and the challenges businesses face when deciding whether to invest in solar, batteries and other energy infrastructure.
You’ll learn how to compare supplier bids on an apples-to-apples basis, avoid overpaying or building systems that are larger than they need to be, and understand the financial case for on-site energy. The founding team also explains how VECKTA uses optimisation, local energy data and competitive procurement to help businesses move from analysis to execution, with the potential to deploy projects at scale.
