EPUKI was established in 2015 as the strategic platform for expanding the EPH group into the UK energy market.

Since launching, EPUKI has made several acquisitions and developed a number of new opportunities and now owns multiple renewable and flexible power generating assets in the UK and Ireland.

EPUKI has grown rapidly to revenues ~£3.5m and EBITDA ~£300m.

We pride ourselves on an entrepreneurial culture and flat leadership structure where individuals (wherever they are in the organisation) can make a real impact on our business.

Our aim is to enable the UK and Ireland low carbon transition through provision of flexible and reliable energy supply.

To achieve this, we will:
- develop, construct and acquire the right assets to support the transformation of the energy system;
- invest in our people and our assets to best respond to the changing needs of our sector;
- continuously challenge ourselves to identify opportunities, build our knowledge and develop innovative solutions.

Despite its significant market presence, EPUKI has a flat structure with fast paced decision-making ability enabling better optimisation of market positions.

The market continues to evolve and develop as the UK and Irish governments drive towards Net Zero with increasing challenges of renewables penetration, introduction of hydrogen and other new technologies.
