Exawatt Ltd

Sheffield, United Kingdom Energy Acquired

ExaWatt (Exawatt) is a Sheffield, UK-based strategic consulting and technology analysis firm focused on decarbonisation through electrification. Founded in 2015 by CEO Simon Price, the company specialises in technoeconomic analysis, manufacturing cost forecasting and supply-chain modelling across four pillars: solar photovoltaics (PV), energy storage (including lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, green hydrogen and ammonia), power electronics, and electric vehicles. Its clients are energy-transition infrastructure investors, manufacturers and policy stakeholders. In April 2023, Exawatt was acquired by CRU Group, the London-headquartered global commodities business intelligence firm, with Exawatt's full team retained and its Sheffield office becoming CRU's second UK hub. The Exawatt team now operates as part of CRU's broader battery materials and energy-transition practice, with content increasingly published under the CRU brand.
