About VECKTA
The global energy system is transforming in real time. An aging and strained grid, higher costs, and increasing climate risk are forcing companies to rethink how they power their operations. Onsite energy generation offers a clear solution: clean, reliable power that cuts both costs and carbon. Yet businesses are stalled by a fragmented market of vendors, complex regulations, and unclear investment decisions.
VECKTA cuts through this complexity with a single platform that connects companies to expertise, precise analytics, and pre-qualified suppliers. We turn uncertainty into clarity, empowering businesses to confidently build their energy future.

Our Purpose
We exist to create a world where everyone has access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy. We see businesses as major drivers in making this happen. By powering our economy with clean energy, we foster innovation, peace and wealth creation while protecting the environment and our communities.
Our Story
As the head of the power consulting division at Worley, the world’s largest energy consulting and engineering firm, VECKTA’s co-founder Gareth Evans had spent over 15 years working on complex energy and resource projects worldwide. It was during a demanding assignment with major oil and gas companies in Iraq that sparked his vision for a more innovative approach to energy infrastructure. Amidst frequent mortar attacks and the visible complexities of energy-related conflicts, Gareth experienced a pivotal moment that would reshape his understanding of the global energy ecosystem.
“There is a better way to power our lives. We can harness local and abundant resources with the same ingenuity we’ve applied to extract challenging energy resources throughout history. To do this, we need to disrupt the existing energy system.”
Gareth Evans, Co-Founder of VECKTA
Returning home with a clear purpose to accelerate our transition to distributed energy, Gareth assembled a small team of consultants in 2019 to explore a promising concept: streamlining and automating onsite energy assessments. What began as an innovative initiative within Worley quickly gained traction. The team validated market demand and secured internal investment, developing a product that would provide insightful, detailed single-site energy assessments to drive adoption. They supported initial customers like Shell, Newcrest, Magna, and Liberty Utilities, demonstrating the concept’s potential and adaptability.
By 2022, VECKTA had refined its focus on commercial and industrial customers with extensive facility portfolios, raising venture capital to build a technology-enabled platform for planning and purchasing onsite energy systems. The company’s evolution accelerated in 2023 and 2024, with the development of an enterprise-grade software platform specifically designed for large-scale buyers. This was made possible by forming a highly experienced and respected cross-functional and diverse team who are mission-driven and values-aligned. VECKTA has emerged as a leader and innovator, providing intelligence and data that empower non-technical business leaders to assess, plan, and deploy onsite energy at scale. With marquee enterprise customers, VECKTA has grown from a compelling idea born in the challenging environments of Iraq to a forward-thinking force in energy infrastructure.

Our Partners and Investors
VECKTA’s founding team and investors understand that the world is on the precipice of an all-encompassing energy transformation that will bring about more innovation and prosperity, healthier people, stop the advancement of climate change, and minimize pollution.
“The world is on an unstoppable transition to clean, lower-cost, renewable energy. While large-scale systems, like power plants & transmission, are an essential component of this transition, these projects can take years, sometimes a decade or longer, to get approved, built, and integrated with the grid. Fortunately, VECKTA offers a parallel path forward that is far faster by helping businesses build their own onsite energy systems like microgrids. These systems are more reliable, increasingly cheaper, and always cleaner.”
