Calisen

Calisen is an owner, installer, and manager of essential energy infrastructure. Calisen’s core business is owning, financing, and installing smart metering infrastructure assets throughout the UK on behalf of energy suppliers. It provides full end-to-end metering services, including the provision (MAP), installation and maintenance (MOP/MAM), meter reading and data collection/aggregation (DC/DA) of electricity and gas metering infrastructure. Smart meters are a key enabler in the digital energy landscape as the UK moves towards decarbonisation and a cleaner future. Smart meters help consumers upgrade to smart technology in their homes, use less energy and make informed choices. Calisen’s portfolio of meters totals over 15 million and continues to grow.

In addition to its smart meters business Calisen leverages its expertise, resources, and cutting-edge sustainable infrastructure operating under the PlugMeIn brand. This part of its business installs and owns infrastructure such as electric vehicle charging, heat pumps, solar PV and batteries helping its customers navigate the path to net zero and reducing their carbon footprint.

Equitix managed funds’ investment in Calisen originated through the merger of its MapleCo business, which was essentially an asset only provider, and Calisen, which is a full-service corporate business. During the transaction, Equitix also invested further new capital to acquire a greater stake in the combined merged business.
Equitix is the largest shareholder in Calisen, alongside other investors Blackrock, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and Mubadala.
