About Marzipan
Marzipan Energy is a UK-based renewable energy company focused on the acquisition and development of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and solar PV projects. Founded by a team with extensive experience across the clean energy sector, including the development of over 4GW of BESS assets and the construction of more than 200MW. Their transactional expertise spans the acquisition and disposal of individual assets and large portfolios, as well as a platform deal of nearly 2GW.
Marzipan Energy is actively acquiring BESS and solar PV assets across the UK, both Ready-to-Build assets with near-term connection dates and early-stage development projects with connection dates post-2028.

Operating with strong financial backing and a focused growth strategy, Marzipan offers a unique opportunity for professionals seeking to contribute to a high-impact business while developing broad, hands-on experience across the clean energy project lifecycle.
