Key people at Powerverse.
Powerverse offers a smart energy management platform, the Energy Operating System (EOS), powered by its AI core, Raya. This system integrates diverse energy devices, aggregates data, and makes real-time decisions to optimize consumption. It leverages artificial intelligence for intelligent scheduling and real-time optimization, streamlining renewable energy asset management and enhancing overall efficiency.
Powerverse originated as an initiative from Lightsource bp, a global leader in solar energy development. The company formed from the insight into the increasing need for sophisticated, AI-driven solutions to manage complex energy ecosystems. This enterprise was established to empower households and businesses with greater control and efficiency over their energy usage.
The company serves businesses and individual customers, enabling effective energy consumption management. Powerverse envisions transforming the energy sector towards a sustainable, affordable, and connected electric future. Its mission is to empower users with full command over their energy management, cultivating a more efficient and cleaner global energy ecosystem.
Key people at Powerverse.
Powerverse is a smart energy management company founded by Lightsource bp, specializing in an AI-powered Energy Operating System (EOS) that optimizes energy use for households, businesses, and partners in electrification sectors like EVs, solar, heat pumps, and batteries.[1][2][3][4] It serves energy retailers, home electrification providers, and the EV value chain by connecting devices, aggregating data via its Raya AI core, and enabling real-time decisions to cut costs, reduce carbon footprints, and generate revenue through services like Virtual Power Plants (VPP).[2][3][4] The platform solves energy anxiety amid rising electrification demands by offering cheaper, cleaner consumption, automation, and insights through a user-friendly app, with ambitions to reach 250,000 customers in five years via partnerships and direct sales.[1][3]
Launched in the UK after five years of R&D from Lightsource bp's incubator (formerly Lightsource Labs), Powerverse drives growth in a decarbonizing market, partnering with firms like VCHRGD for chargers and Cord for EV apps.[1][3][4]
Powerverse emerged from Lightsource bp's in-house technology incubator, Lightsource Labs, which spent five years in intense R&D to develop market-leading AI energy tech.[1][2] Nick Boyle, founder and Global CEO of Lightsource bp (started in 2010 as a six-person startup, now a global solar leader with bp partnership since 2017), championed the project as board director, drawing from his experience scaling to 25GW solar by 2025 and prior financial services roles.[1][2]
Richard Britton, Powerverse CEO and co-founder, brought tech expertise from growing CloudSense to a $50M SaaS company; as a TechStars mentor, he teamed with Boyle to spin out the incubator into Powerverse, focusing on net-zero consumer solutions.[2] The company launched publicly in the UK, transitioning from internal development to scaling via the Powerverse Vesta (now EOS with Raya AI) platform.[1][4]
(Note: A separate entity at powerverseapps.com focuses on Microsoft Power Platform automation, unrelated to this energy firm.[5])
Powerverse rides the UK electrification and decarbonization wave, fueled by surging EV, solar, and heat pump adoption amid net-zero goals.[1][2] Timing aligns with "energy anxiety" as a top barrier—complex tech and choices hindering clean energy uptake—positioning it to scale like Lightsource bp did for solar.[1] Market forces like skyrocketing demand and grid pressures favor its VPP-enabling EOS, turning homes into active energy ecosystems for stability and revenue.[3][4]
It influences the ecosystem by partnering across retail, EVs, and electrification, supercharging growth while Lightsource bp's solar expertise ensures reliable integration, accelerating the shift to smarter grids.[1][2][4]
Powerverse is primed to dominate UK home energy management, targeting 250,000 customers in five years through partnerships, direct app sales, and EOS expansion into VPPs and advanced services.[1][4] Trends like AI-driven grids, EV proliferation, and policy pushes for decarbonization will propel it, potentially evolving into a global platform as Lightsource bp eyes international solar pipelines.[1][2]
Expect deeper ecosystem integrations and white-label adoption, amplifying Lightsource bp's energy transition impact—transforming "energy anxiety" into optimized, revenue-generating homes, much like its solar parent scaled from startup to superpower.[1]
