A global optimiser of battery storage and renewables using AI-driven forecasting and asset management.

Habitat Energy, a Quinbrook portfolio company, is a global leader in the optimisation of battery storage and renewable energy assets. Founded in the UK in 2017, Habitat uses its proprietary AI-powered EVOLVE platform to combine algorithmic forecasting, real-time market trading, asset intelligence, and expert human oversight to maximise asset value and minimise risk. Since Quinbrook’s investment, Habitat’s operating portfolio has grown more than elevenfold to 1.8 GW, with a contracted pipeline exceeding 3.9 GW across the UK/Ireland, US, and Australia. Habitat has emerged as a leader in ERCOT, a key US market, providing end-to-end optimisation services that support both battery and renewables clients to maximise performance across wholesale and ancillary markets.

By enabling flexible, efficient participation in energy markets and managing key factors like battery degradation and price volatility, Habitat helps accelerate the clean energy transition. In 2024, it was named “Optimiser of the Year” at the Energy Storage Investment Awards.
