Company Overview

SmartestEnergy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Marubeni Corporation

Approximately 416 employees with a 24% workforce increase in 2023 (source: zoominfo.com), estimated revenue of $99.5 million (source: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk)

What They Do

SmartestEnergy operates as a B2B renewable energy firm, focusing on electricity wholesale, retail, production, distribution, and trade, alongside gas trade. The company emphasizes an asset-light model that aggregates independent renewable generation and purchases environmental attribute certificates (EACs) to supply tailored clean energy solutions without owning physical assets (source: recs.org). Its core offerings include 100% renewable supply products certified for commercial, industrial, and SME customers, flexibility services, origination for generators, and trading across wholesale markets (source: smartestenergy.com). The company targets large C&I businesses, independent generators, and partners in the UK, US, and Australia, leveraging technology-enabled customer-first products and Marubeni's global expertise (source: smartestenergy.com).

Projects & Track Record

SmartestEnergy has a notable track record of powering commercial and industrial businesses since 2008 and extending 100% renewable accreditation to SMEs in 2023 (source: smartestenergy.com). The company has expanded its market presence with entries into the US PJM market in 2019 and the New England ISO in 2023 (source: smartestenergy.com). While specific completed projects are not detailed, SmartestEnergy's focus remains on supply and trading rather than asset development, with ongoing expansions in the US and Australia, and planned European market entries (source: smartestenergy.com).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, SmartestEnergy expanded its Canary Wharf headquarters by 20,000 sq ft in August 2025 to support trading and global operations amid growth in the US and Australia (source: canarywharf.com). The company marked its 25th anniversary in 2025 and launched a new brand identity in 2023, alongside entering the New England ISO market (source: smartestenergy.com). Additionally, SmartestEnergy achieved a #1 ranking in DNV customer satisfaction surveys for suppliers under 15 TWh in 2023, reflecting its commitment to customer-first solutions (source: recs.org).

Working There

SmartestEnergy offers a dynamic workplace with roles across trading, origination, commercial, sales, operations, and support, particularly at its expanded Canary Wharf headquarters (source: smartestenergy.com). The company has seen a 24% workforce growth in 2023, adding 21 new roles, and emphasizes a "people-powered" culture with collaboration spaces and event hosting (source: zoominfo.com). Office locations include sites in the UK, US, and Australia, with a focus on transparency and customer-first agility, as highlighted by CEO Robert Groves (source: recs.org).
