Who are UrbanChain?

We're a multi-award winning cleantech company transforming the way energy is bought and sold. We enable businesses to create their own private energy markets. 

Traditional energy markets rely on middlemen, outdated systems, and unpredictable pricing structures. We remove these inefficiencies by connecting renewable energy generators directly with many consumers in a fair, transparent, and cost-effective way.

Project planning perspective

  • Insights on the technical and logistical challenges of transitioning to net zero.
  • How project planning incorporates renewable integration at scale.
  • A deepdive into case studies of success and how you can recreate them for yourselves.

Financing the energy transition

  • Funders will share what they look for in projects, explore funding solutions, and discuss trends in the broader investment landscape.
  • UrbanChain will outline how we structure and support projects, and explain how these scenarios can be made bankable and investible to unlock real-world impact.
