Vital new UK-German energy link NeuConnect appoints Siili Solutions’ subsidiary Supercharge as Market Integration Platform provider
Siili Solutions Plc Press Release 20 January 2026 at 12.00 EET
NeuConnect, the first direct energy link under construction between the UK and Germany, has appointed Siili Solutions’ subsidiary Supercharge as its Market Integration Platform provider. The platform will play a crucial customer-facing role in NeuConnect’s cross-border operations, enabling energy traders to nominate cross-border transmission rights between the UK and Germany. The appointment of Supercharge, one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech companies specialising in digital solutions for energy operations and trading and part of the Siili Solutions group, is another important step for NeuConnect as the project puts in place key IT systems and processes ahead of the start of operations.
In an important operational milestone for NeuConnect, Supercharge has now been appointed to provide a customer-facing Market Integration Platform. The agreement covers the design, build, testing, and implementation of the Market Integration Platform, followed by the ongoing operation and maintenance of the system. The platform will serve as the main customer interface for market participants, enabling the nomination of transmission rights allocated via JAO at all timeframes. Along with the operations and maintenance of the Market Integration Platform, Supercharge will also provide a 24/7 Helpdesk to ensure a robust and reliable service, and support market participants’ queries.
An experienced, innovative approach
Having worked on a series of major energy projects (including two other UK interconnectors), Supercharge offers a unique track record in creating software to maximise the efficiency of critical energy infrastructure. Supercharge’s work on the NeuConnect platform will also build in further innovations above and beyond the systems typically used on other interconnectors, including more streamlined processes to turn market results into optimised operational instructions.
“NeuConnect’s agreement with Supercharge is a huge boost and another important milestone as we continue preparing for the start of operations on this vital new energy link for Europe. Supercharge’s experience, innovation and track record in energy infrastructure will all help to ensure NeuConnect can offer our customers a secure, state-of-the-art way to interact with us,” says NeuConnect Chief Operating Officer Andy Paton.
“We’re excited to work with NeuConnect on their market integration platform, enabling participants to submit interconnector nominations from day one. This is a highly significant project for Europe’s energy sector, connecting two of the largest energy markets for the first time in history. We’re inspired by NeuConnect’s commitment to operational excellence, and we look forward to working closely with their team to build a robust, scalable, state of the art platform with a reliable, highly available, intuitive customer interface ensuring future-proof performance as markets evolve,” says Nils Teipel, Energy Director from Supercharge.
About the NeuConnect project
Led by global investors Meridiam, Allianz, Kansai Electric Power and TEPCO, the £2.4bn/€2.8bn NeuConnect project will be one of the world’s largest interconnectors with 725km of land and subsea cables forming an ‘invisible energy highway’ to connect two of Europe’s largest energy markets for the first time. The UK-German link will allow 1.4GW of electricity – enough to power up to 1.5 million homes – to flow in either direction, helping to boost energy security and integrate renewable energy sources on a European scale.
With major construction on NeuConnect well-underway, the interconnector is starting to look ahead to the start of trial operations towards the end of 2027 and full operations in 2028. In 2025, NeuConnect appointed JAO as the provider for auctioning cross-border transmission capacity and the project is continuing to put in place key systems to ensure that market participants can purchase and use its capacity.
