Habitat Energy was founded in Oxford, England, in 2017 by Dr Andrew Luers and Phil Robinson. The company was established with the vision of harnessing advanced technology to optimize battery storage and renewable energy assets, thereby accelerating the transition to a clean energy future. From its inception, Habitat Energy focused on the UK market, where it quickly built one of the largest battery storage portfolios in the country and delivered market-leading returns for its clients. In its early years, Habitat Energy developed its proprietary EVOLVE platform, a fully integrated end-to-end optimization service that combines AI-driven market analysis with an expert in-house trading team and deep asset intelligence. This platform became the cornerstone of the company's offering, enabling asset owners and investors to maximize the value of their battery storage and renewable energy assets. By the early 2020s, Habitat Energy had expanded internationally. It established operations in Australia, based in Melbourne, to serve the National Electricity Market (NEM), bringing its proven technology and deep experience to the region. Simultaneously, the company began growing its US team, leveraging decades of experience in US energy markets to expand across the country. As of its official website, Habitat Energy has 5.5 GW of assets under contract and a team of over 130 people, including power traders, data scientists, and AI and machine learning specialists.
