Windfall Energy enables renters and people living in flats to benefit from the clean-energy transition by taking control of their electricity usage.
Living in flats in London we were frustrated that our energy bills were going up and there was nothing we could do about it.
There’s plenty of cheap green energy on the grid these days, but not necessarily at the times you need it. So we started Windfall Energy to develop a battery that lets anyone decouple when energy is purchased from when it is used.

Ashley and Rob met at a Green IoT Meetup, and were both looking for ways to use their skills and experience to have a positive impact on the climate crisis. They shared a frustration that it’s difficult to make a difference to your energy consumption when you live in a flat.
After spending time researching solutions, and visiting Germany to understand the emerging Balkonkraftwerk movement, it became clear that there was a wide gap in the market for products designed specifically with this audience in mind.
