Value proposition

⚡️An impact-driven research unit, founded by Octopus Energy. Focused on making the future energy system a reality.

Centre for Net Zero (CNZ) is part of the world-leading group of organisations that comprise Octopus Energy. We leverage the global Octopus Energy customer dataset for modelling and research purposes. We are an autonomous, impact-driven research unit that delivers pioneering research to make the future energy system a reality.

Our access to tens of billions of customer data points gives us an unparalleled insight into the behaviours of people and businesses around the world. CNZ analyses this dataset in depth, runs field trials and experimentation, and builds cutting-edge AI models and tools to generate novel data and insights about the active participation of people in the future energy system.

We use our research to influence the key decisions of governments, policy-makers and grid operators, promoting the acceleration of the energy transition at low cost. We take a whole-systems view, considering demand as well as supply, and helping design an increasingly automated energy system with intelligent demand at its centre.
