About Enleashed

Enleashed is building a new class of digital electricity market infrastructure designed for a decarbonised, reliability-critical, and software-defined energy system. The goal is simple but ambitious: to address the structural failures of today’s energy markets and replace them with a system that is fair, flexible, resilient, and fit for the future.

Research foundations

Enleashed is grounded in PhD research completed at Imperial College London, which develops a first-principles redesign of electricity market mechanisms.

Thesis title
A Fair, Flexible, Zero-Waste Digital Electricity Market:
A First-Principles Approach Combining Automatic Market Making, Holarchic Architectures and Shapley Theory
Automatic Market Maker (AMM)Holarchic architectureShapley fairness

The thesis introduces a programmable Automatic Market Maker for electricity, embedding fairness directly into market clearing using Shapley value theory, and organising the system as a hierarchy of interacting local markets (a holarchy) that mirrors the physical grid.

Exploring where to start

Enleashed is exploring a range of potential locations to validate and demonstrate this new market architecture in practice. As an initial step, this site has been built with a focus on the Isle of Man, as a compact and well-defined power system that allows the ideas and tools to be made concrete and visible.

This should be understood as an exploratory and illustrative starting point, rather than a statement of deployment or commitment.

The problem

Electricity markets were designed for a world of large fossil generators and passive consumers. In today’s system of renewables, electrification, storage, and flexible demand, those designs are increasingly misaligned with physical reality:

Bills
Rising and volatile energy bills for households and businesses.
Incentives
Poor incentives for flexibility and reliability.
Security
Growing risk of shortages and emergency interventions.
Waste
Clean energy wasted through curtailment and congestion.

The Enleashed approach

Enleashed replaces static, price-only market logic with a programmable, real-time allocation engine that aligns economic outcomes with physical feasibility and service priorities:

Fair cost sharing
Participants contribute in line with the burden they place on the system.
Flexibility as a first-class service
Flexibility is valued explicitly — not as an afterthought.
Resilience by design
Service priorities and scarcity handling are explicit under constraints.
Zero-waste operation
Align incentives with feasibility to reduce curtailment and misallocation.
In short: a programmable engine that clears in real time, respects the network, and makes fairness explicit.

Why it matters

Lower, more stable costs
Reduce volatility by aligning incentives with system conditions.
Faster climate action
Cut curtailment and improve investment signals.
More resilient systems
Make scarcity + priorities explicit rather than implicit.
Stronger institutions
Improve governance via auditability and accountability.
