The digital backbone of the renewable energy world
The global energy transition is accelerating. As billions flow into solar, wind, and grid-scale batteries, one thing is becoming clear: managing these assets effectively is hard. Batteries, in particular, are incredibly complex, not just chemically, but financially and operationally. Their performance, longevity, and profitability is contingent on second-by-second decisions that Excel spreadsheets and human intuition simply cannot handle.
This is where Spine comes in.
Why Spine
Spine Energy Technology was founded in 2025 by visionary CEO Peter Bance based on a simple insight: the renewables sector needs smart technology in order to scale. However, if that technology layer is formed of a disjointed collection of opaque point solutions, then the burden remains on humans to join the dots.
Green energy infrastructure, therefore, requires a “digital spine” to act as connective tissue between all aspects of renewable asset management; carrying the data, insights, and intelligence needed to allow the physical, financial, and supply chain “limbs” to work together effectively. The elimination of day-to-day firefighting and distillation of operational insights can make high-quality strategic planning possible.
Spine is building that digital backbone: a secure, modular software platform that supports and empowers renewable asset managers to take full control of their growing portfolios and achieve fantastic risk-adjusted returns.
Our Team
The Spine team represents decades of experience in the renewables technology sector, the technology startup environment, and perspectives from North America, the UK, and continental Europe. We’re a lean – but growing – team of multi-disciplined technologists, each bringing crucial commercial or technical specialisms to form a cohesive whole.
Key market insights and industry experience guide our product-led vision, while deep understanding of platform and data engineering best practices ensure that we deliver robust, scalable software at pace.
The companies our team have shaped over the years have gone on to make a global impact - including exits via stock market floatations or major corporate acquisitions.
Beyond our core team, Spine draws on an extended networks of contacts and advisors spanning industry, academia, and investment.

The Spine Platform
Spine is a scalable, secure SaaS Platform for renewables asset managers.
Combining deep data-driven insights and intelligence with a powerful decision engine for enacting real-world outcomes, Spine brings together the physical and financial worlds in one cohesive digital solution harnessing the power of AI. At the beating heart of this engine sits a digital encoding of the asset manager’s proprietary decision-making logic, enabling a joined-up approach for real-time operations as well as their longer-term strategy.
Decision Engine
The intelligence core of the Spine Platform, informed by data, instructed by you.
-
Strategy studio: build, test, and manage your proprietary asset/portfolio policies, combining commercial, physical, and risk considerations into a unified strategy.
-
Automated decision-making: regularly evaluate your asset strategy across your portfolio, generating actions to power your commercial and physical operations.
-
Advanced analytics: connect powerful AI modules to supplement your core asset strategy, enabling more complex analyses and more nuanced decisions.
-
Remain in control: the facility for human intervention and approvals keeps you in the driving seat, whether you choose to automate with oversight, or override by exception.
Digital Twin
Test your asset strategy against virtual batteries and synthetic markets.
-
Shadow book: benchmark the performance of your supply chain vendors with your own portfolio strategy.
-
Hypothesis testing: test and evolve your strategy with confidence by validating each new version in a virtual portfolio. Perform sensitivity analysis to inform your strategy stance and tune your guard rails.
-
Back testing: run your new strategy against historical data to assess long-term impacts for your assets.
Modular Architecture
Build upon a common, adaptable digital spine for your worldwide expansion into any market.
-
Scalable by design: the Spine platform implements a distributed, modular architecture, providing a highly scalable and adaptable solution for an ever-changing market.
-
Market agnostic: Spine’s market connector architecture allows for simple geographical and market scalability when you need it, while maintaining a stable, consistent core experience.
-
One engine, endless possibilities: the extensibility of Spine’s decision engine ensures your asset strategy is resilient to evolutionary changes in the market, while enabling an increasingly rich set of possible actions over time.
-
Flexible edges: integrate with your physical assets for metering, control, dispatch, and observability. Connect to other data streams to unify your data world in the digital spine.
Access Framework
Manage access to your assets and data with a robust, modular permissions framework.
-
Data sovereignty: your assets, data, and the strategy which governs them are yours and yours alone.
-
Granular permissions: grant least-privilege access to your user groups or subdivide with Organisational Units to grant focused access only where it is needed.
-
Dynamic access sharing: define sharing policies to grant specific access to other organisations across your supply chain – including Spine – for the purposes of support, delegation, or shared responsibility.
-
Flexible sign-on: manage user accounts in-platform or integrate with your company’s SSO solution.
Our Philosophies
Enabling a Greener Future
Batteries are being deployed at scale to provide the flexibility needed to balance electricity grids powered by renewables and displace the need for fossil fuels. Powerful software, fed by rich streams of data, is absolutely critical to help us accelerate towards this net-zero future.
Spine stands at the forefront of the energy technology revolution, delivering powerful software that will reshape entire infrastructure systems, with the potential to transform the management of gigawatts of renewable energy assets and help unlock billions in capital deployment.
Dear Asset Managers,
You stand at the forefront of energy flexibility at a crucial point in the green energy revolution. Billions of dollars are feeding a green infrastructure buildout on a scale unseen since the industrial revolution, and the first wave of new BESS sites are starting to come online. You have the potential to make a huge impact on the shift to renewable energy generation, not to mention a huge commercial return. Your time is now.
But, how much control do you really have?
A complex legacy supply chain forces tradeoffs on your autonomy, both commercially and physically. Asset monetisation is largely out of your hands, and you don’t have the deep insights you need to steer effectively. The physical world isn’t much better - assets are often unavailable at the worst possible time. In this outsourced vendor landscape, keeping these worlds aligned is tough.
Your job is hard, and it will only get harder as your portfolio scales.
On a good day, you act as a data connector between people, isolated data systems, and spreadsheets. On a bad day, you’re navigating entirely in the dark. Unforced errors and miscommunication are rampant. Effective long-term strategising is impossible. Is it any wonder that making decisions is so hard?
We believe it doesn’t have to be this way. We believe that the future of green energy will be led by tech-enabled asset managers, acting with autonomy and empowered by data-driven insights. We believe that asset strategy and control belongs with the people most interested in its long-term success – you.
Spine is building that world, and we want you to join us in shaping it.
