Volue, the leader in electrification software, has strengthened its position in the UK market with the acquisition of Quorum.  

For Volue, the acquisition represents a strategic entry into one of Europe’s most dynamic and advanced energy markets. The move combines Quorum’s deep UK market expertise with Volue’s comprehensive electrification software suite spanning data and forecast, trading, optimisation and planning, asset operations, and distribution.   

Volue will work alongside Quorum to support customers navigating increasing system complexity, while supporting them to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the UK market’s rapid electrification. 

Based in Sedgefield, County Durham, Quorum provides critical software and infrastructure to the UK energy industry. Quorum’s software suite is the leading solution underpinning UK market communication between energy market participants and the Balancing Mechanism – the real-time marketplace operated by the National Energy System Operator (NESO) that ensures balance of power supply and demand. Quorum’s software is the choice of over two thirds of the market and supports the operation of more than 53GW of capacity across all generation and storage asset classes. 

Co-founded by Paul Fothergill, Quorum was established to solve a critical industry challenge: enabling energy operators to deploy robust, fully integrated technology solutions without the need to build bespoke systems or manage multiple suppliers.
