UK Power Reserve is a fast growing, Midlands based power company. We are the leading provider of reliable, flexible and low carbon power services to the UK electricity market. With a portfolio of over 800MW of small-scale, local thermal power generation and battery storage assets, we help keep the country's electricity system balanced and resilient. A prominent ‘challenger' company in the energy industry, UKPR is bringing innovative technologies and services to market which disrupt the traditional utility model. We are spearheading the shift to a decentralised, ‘two-way' power system where new, low carbon energy such as wind and solar are complemented by fast-ramping, reliable energy sources like batteries and small, local power stations. This model helps consumers harness the benefits of renewables, get involved in producing or managing their own power where they want, whilst ensuring that low cost, flexible back-up power is available when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining. By locating our smaller plants and reliable energy sources close to consumers we limit the need for large power infrastructure investment, helping reduce consumer energy bills. UKPR's experience in developing, owning and operating small scale, flexible power plants is unparalleled in the UK. We have built an in-house team of experts which has consistently delivered high quality, reliable assets and deployed those successfully into the commercial electricity markets. This skill set is rare and puts us in a unique position to provide bespoke, power supply services to industry. We are continuing to expand our capabilities with a best in class operations and maintenance team, proprietary virtual power station software, a trading and supplier arm, and an expert regulatory team. The company was established in 2010 and experienced a successful MBO in 2015 with two private equity investors, Inflexion & Equistone and two debt providers, Lombard and HSBC.
