    Company Overview

    Piclo

    London, United Kingdom

    2013

    Approximately 50 employees (source: linkedin.com). Total funding raised stands at $17.51 million (source: f6s.com).

    What They Do

    Piclo operates as a pioneering software company that has evolved from creating the UK's first online marketplace for renewable energy sharing to becoming a global leader in digital marketplaces for electricity grid flexibility services. Their technology connects distributed energy resource (DER) providers with buyers such as utilities and system operators, facilitating a more efficient energy market (source: atlasofthefuture.org). The company focuses on grid flexibility software that enables the procurement and trading of services from various DERs, including electric vehicles (EVs), batteries, and solar-plus-storage systems, which are essential for managing network congestion and balancing supply and demand (source: piclo.com). Their primary products include Piclo Flex, an online platform for competitive auctions, Piclo Engage for matching renewable energy supply and demand, and Piclo Max, which expands global market access for flex sellers (source: climatebase.org). Target markets include flexibility procurement in transmission and distribution grids, serving a diverse range of customers from flex sellers to major utilities across multiple countries (source: plexigrid.com).

    Projects & Track Record

    Piclo has been involved in several notable projects, including the UK's largest distribution-level flexibility tender in 2020, where they awarded £14 million in contracts for grid balancing services using EVs and batteries (source: cleangrowthfund.com). They have also participated in international trials, such as the May 2020 Slovenian Green Transformation Consortium partnership, which aimed to implement flexibility models similar to those in the UK. Additionally, Piclo is involved in the EU-funded OneNet Project, which focuses on seamless integration of European electricity networks (source: cleangrowthfund.com). Currently, they are operating across six global markets, collaborating with all UK DSOs and various international utilities, including National Grid in New York and E-Distribuzione in Italy, with ongoing projects aimed at enhancing grid flexibility and resource adequacy (source: plexigrid.com).

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, Piclo has made significant strides, including a funding round in August 2024 that raised capital for expanding its power marketplace (source: pv-magazine-usa.com). They launched Piclo Flex in California on February 4, 2025, enabling over 30 MW of flexible storage from Sunrun to meet Resource Adequacy obligations (source: pv-magazine-usa.com). A strategic partnership with Plexigrid was formed on March 27, 2024, to integrate marketplace APIs with AI grid analytics, enhancing DER optimization for utilities (source: plexigrid.com). Furthermore, they released Piclo Max in November 2023, which aims to provide global electricity market access, and are projected to mitigate 1,100 GW of solar/wind curtailment by 2040 (source: equityzen.com).

    Working There

    Piclo offers a variety of roles primarily in software engineering, product design, and commercial functions, with over half of the team comprising software engineers (source: futurice.com). The company is led by experienced professionals, including CEO James Johnston and CTO Andy Kilner, who emphasize user-centered design and API development (source: f6s.com). The culture at Piclo is centered around human-centered design, digital-first innovation, and scalability for distributed assets, fostering an environment that encourages creativity and collaboration (source: piclo.com). While specific benefits are not detailed, the company's venture-backed status suggests competitive perks typical of tech startups in the cleantech sector (source: cleangrowthfund.com).
