Our partnership with Matched Energy

Delivering 24/7 carbon-free energy requires multiple infrastructure layers including independent benchmarking, detailed supplier data, and accurate hourly reporting. That's why we've been supporting Matched Energy, an independent non-profit initiative which uses public data to calculate hourly matching scores for UK suppliers.

About Matched Energy

Matched Energy is a UK-based non-profit bringing transparency to the clean energy space. Founded by Joe Kwiatkowski, the initiative provides half-hourly portfolio-level scores for UK suppliers using entirely public data from Elexon and Ofgem. Their goal is to offer an independent, data-driven view of suppliers' carbon-free energy performance, helping evolve public conversation around accountability and comparability in clean energy use.

How we complement each other

This initiative perfectly complements what we do at Granular Energy. While Matched Energy uses public data to provide independent benchmarking across suppliers at the portfolio level (explore their methodology here), we work directly with energy suppliers as the mechanism that enables them to launch hourly matching tariffs and products.

We use supplier-sourced private data, notably half-hourly metered of consumption and generation, to provide the accurate hourly matching that suppliers need to deliver time-based clean energy offerings to their customers. This means our platform supports the detailed reporting at either the tariff or even the consumer level.

Our collaboration

We've worked closely with Matched Energy since inception, contributing to methodology development and sharing insights into the UK energy market. Our ambitions are aligned, and our respective work highly complementary:they provide the independent transparency signal, while we provide suppliers with the operational infrastructure to act on those insights.

The bigger picture

Both approaches are critical as the energy sector evolves toward time-based accounting:

• Granular Energy’s supplier-integrated platforms enable the launch of real-world hourly matching products
• Matched Energy’s independent benchmarking helps with system-wide transparency and accountability

Together, we're building a more transparent, data-rich energy system that enables suppliers to launch innovative 24/7 clean energy tariffs and gives consumers the tools to drive the shift toward carbon-free electricity, every hour of every day.
