Data infrastructure and governance backbone for the UK electricity market
ElectraLink operates the Data Transfer Service (DTS) that underpins supplier switching and meter interoperability across the UK's deregulated electricity and gas markets. The company is scaling greenfield product initiatives while wrestling with legacy system integration—a common tension for infrastructure operators. Recent hiring acceleration across engineering, product, and sales suggests a shift from pure infrastructure provider toward selling market analytics and governance services directly to energy players.
