RO Capital Partners and former U.S. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson become joint largest shareholders
Buildings waste more than £165 billion of energy through plug load energy every year. This vast, largely overlooked problem is what measurable.energy set out to address 8 years ago.
Today the business celebrates a new milestone in our journey that propels our mission further forward.
RO Capital Partners and Roger W. Ferguson Jr., former Vice Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, have significantly increased their investment in measurable.energy, becoming the company’s joint largest shareholders.
Their backing strengthens our financial platform as we accelerate growth in the UK, expand internationally and bring intelligent plug load management to more buildings and construction sites. Growth that accelerates

Building on proven commercial momentum
RO Capital Partners first encountered measurable.energy as a customer before investing in the business in 2022.
Since then, we have continued to build commercial momentum, working with organisations including Balfour Beatty Vinci, Morgan Sindall and PKF Francis Clark.
The increased backing from RO Capital Partners and Roger Ferguson is a strong endorsement of the progress made so far — and of the opportunity ahead.
It provides measurable.energy with a stronger capital base, a simplified ownership structure and the support required to focus on commercial deployment through partners, customer acquisition and international expansion.
Dan Williams, CEO and Co-founder of measurable.energy, said:
“More than £165 billion of energy is wasted through plug loads in buildings every year. It is an enormous global challenge, but it is also one we have a solution for.
“Most buildings can’t see up to 40% of their electricity use — and nearly half of that is wasted. Our technology exists to identify this waste, control it automatically and give organisations measurable financial and environmental returns.
“The increased backing from RO Capital Partners and Roger Ferguson gives us the strength, experience and long-term support to take that technology to more customers, across more markets and at a much greater scale.
“This is an important new chapter for measurable.energy, but our purpose remains the same: to become the global standard for plug load energy management.”
Strengthening our technological foundations
Josh Eadie, CTO and Co-founder of measurable.energy, added:
“AI has formed part of measurable.energy’s technology from the outset. It enables our sockets to understand what is plugged in, learn how appliances are being used and make intelligent decisions about when energy is genuinely needed.
“This investment gives us the opportunity to strengthen those capabilities further, while beginning to unlock the value of the vast and unique dataset our technology has created. That insight has applications well beyond energy, from understanding occupancy to improving safety and supporting policy compliance.
“As we grow, our focus is on applying AI in a practical way: not as a buzzword, but as a tool that chips away at wasted energy every day and opens up entirely new ways for buildings to understand and manage what happens within them. This is only the beginning of where the technology can go.”
Supporting partner growth
Our channel partners are a critical route to market for measurable.energy, from resellers to accommodation providers serving construction sites. This investment will help us give those partners the support, tools and resources they need to take m.e. to more customers and grow with us.
Continuing to deliver for customers
As we scale, our focus remains firmly on the organisations already using measurable.energy. We want to keep delighting our customers and ensure they continue to achieve meaningful energy, cost and carbon savings from every deployment.
