PowerSync Technologies is setting its sights on the UK market as part of its international growth strategy, with CEO David Naismith recently attending the Energy Sustainability Summit – UK Minister Update at Australia House, London. The event brought together key figures from government and industry to discuss bilateral energy collaboration and opportunities for Australian clean tech businesses in the UK.

The summit highlighted the UK’s accelerating energy transition, with strong government backing for decarbonisation, digitalisation, and decentralised energy systems. With a growing demand for flexibility services and a well-established market for Frequency Response, Capacity Market participation, and Distribution System Operator (DSO) flexibility tenders, the UK presents a natural next step for PowerSync’s market-leading Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform.

“There’s a clear appetite in the UK for innovative, data-driven platforms that can unlock the full value of distributed energy resources. PowerSync’s technology is well suited to this market – from behind-the-meter optimisation to advanced market orchestration across capacity, frequency, and wholesale energy markets,” said David Naismith, CEO.

PowerSync’s integrated cloud-edge-market architecture enables commercial and industrial customers to monetise batteries, flexible loads, and embedded generation assets in real time. This capability aligns well with the UK’s focus on enabling local flexibility and balancing services as it phases out fossil fuels and increases renewable generation.

‍

Additionally, the UK’s transparency, market maturity, and rich data environment allow PowerSync’s optimiser to operate with high accuracy, delivering value even in highly competitive markets. With established mechanisms for third-party aggregators and a growing base of flexible assets, the UK provides the right regulatory and commercial conditions for PowerSync’s software to scale.

‍

PowerSync’s cloud-based VPP engine and edge orchestration layer are designed for fast-moving markets where asset responsiveness, compliance, and real-time optimisation are essential. These capabilities are particularly relevant to the UK’s expanding suite of flexibility services, including Dynamic Containment, the Capacity Market, and local DSO tenders.

‍

PowerSync is now engaging with UK-based partners, aggregators and large energy users to explore deployment opportunities and local integration. As the UK sharpens its focus on decentralised energy, PowerSync is well positioned to support the next wave of smart grid innovation.
