Honeycomb in action
Helping the UK to charge ahead with EVs
Hive and British Gas recently joined forces with companies including Hitachi, Uber and Royal Mail on Optimise Prime, an Ofgem project designed to help speed the UK’s transition to electric driving.
Connecting today’s electric heaters to tomorrow’s grid
Working with Glen Dimplex, a leading manufacturer of electric heaters, we’re launching a new project that will help lower energy bills for consumers.
Building a smarter, greener, all-electric future
Hive is partnering with SNRG, specialists in next-generation electricity infrastructure, to showcase the possibilities of the latest energy management tech.
We’ve just begun to explore what’s possible for tomorrow’s smart grid. Even so, Honeycomb is already out there in the real world, helping businesses and their customers rethink the way they use energy. Take a look at some of the projects we’re delivering in the UK and beyond.
