The opportunity for the intelligent technology and IP we are developing here in the UK to be exported internationally is huge. We’re going to help solve some of the great challenges like how to bring bringing more renewables onto the grid and connect millions of electric vehicles, on an international scale.
Ilona Ludewig, the founder of 4hundred added: “Through working with the team at OVO, we will be armed with the expertise to significantly grow our customer base and will be uniquely placed to offer customers additional intelligent energy services.”
