ep Assets, a subsidiary of energy transition company ep Group, has announced a partnership with Pixii AS, a global leader in distributed battery energy storage and power conversion technology. This collaboration aims to facilitate Pixii’s entry into the UK market, enhancing distributed energy solutions for homes and businesses.
Recognised as Norway’s fastest-growing tech company in 2023, Pixii AS has developed a fully integrated and modular technology that allows users to optimise both existing and new solar installations. The company’s innovative solutions also support fast electric vehicle (EV) charging, enabling users to reduce energy costs and create additional revenue streams through participation in electricity markets. Moreover, Pixii’s technology aims to alleviate grid constraints, enhancing the stability and reliability of energy systems without necessitating costly grid upgrades.
As a system integrator, ep Assets focuses on monetising distributed energy systems for property owners and investors. By incorporating Pixii’s advanced technology alongside leading solar and EV charging equipment, ep Assets enables property owners to save money, generate revenue, and improve their sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials. This approach also increases asset value by establishing integrated distributed energy systems.
The formation of ep Assets is a response to growing demand from clients seeking distributed energy solutions. Within the ep Group, ep Consultancy provides guidance to corporates, investors, and governments on energy transition strategies and pathways to achieving net zero. Meanwhile, ep Architects focuses on sustainable architecture and well-being, and ep Impact offers support to energy transition and sustainability-focused companies by raising capital and making direct investments.
Dr Steven Fawkes, Managing Partner of ep Group, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “More and more of our real estate sector clients are looking for distributed energy solutions to reduce energy costs, reduce emissions, increase resilience, and overcome grid constraints. Partnering with Pixii AS allows ep Assets to offer scalable, cutting-edge technology that meets these growing needs.”
Kenneth Bodahl, CEO of Pixii AS, also shared his excitement about the collaboration, saying, “We are thrilled to partner with ep Assets as we expand our reach across the UK, catering to domestic and industrial applications as well as EV charging solutions. As a leading provider of distributed energy solutions, this partnership will enable both companies to establish a strong presence in the UK market.”
Founded in 2018 by industry experts in energy conversion and storage, Pixii is dedicated to promoting a sustainable future through the efficient integration of renewable energy. The company is expanding rapidly, with its headquarters in Kristiansand, Norway, and a growing international presence. In addition to its recent accolades, including recognition as the fastest-growing tech company in Norway, Pixii was ranked ninth in EMEA by Deloitte Technology Fast 50.
As ep Assets and Pixii embark on this strategic partnership, they aim to enhance energy solutions in the UK, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape. For more information about the companies and their initiatives, visit www.epgroup.com and www.pixii.com.
