SmartestEnergy expands and extends at Canary Wharf – 06.08.25

Canary Wharf Group (CWG) secures a new extension with SmartestEnergy who is extending and expanding its office footprint at Canary Wharf.  

SmartestEnergy, the energy company helping businesses navigate the energy transition, is growing its European headquarters at The Columbus Building, 7 Westferry Circus taking circa 20,000 sq ft. The new space forms part of SmartestEnergy’s global expansion strategy as it continues to grow its operations in the US and Australia, and positions itself into further European geographies such as Germany, Benelux, Spain, and Portugal. 

The extended London office will provide additional facilities for SmartestEnergy’s growing Trading function; offer dedicated areas to encourage greater collaboration among colleagues; and create space to host events championing important initiatives with partners such as the Women Utilities Network. This aligns with the business’s objective to provide a platform for the energy industry to network and collaborate on reaching the UK’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050. 

Robert Groves, CEO at SmartestEnergy, said: “Extending our office footprint at Canary Wharf signifies SmartestEnergy’s growth in the UK and beyond, driven by our focus on helping customers and partners navigate the energy transition. Canary Wharf Group is providing us with a seamless way to extend our office space to create an appealing and dynamic workplace for our fast-growing trading and commercial operations. With our global headquarters in Canary Wharf, we are committed to driving an interest in renewable and flexible generation solutions that play a key role in the energy transition and truly empower a greener generation.” 

Tarun Mathur, Director – Office Leasing at CWG, added: “It’s always a pleasure to see our customers growing their business with us and we’re delighted to be supporting SmartestEnergy with its expansion. The Wharf is a vibrant mixed-use destination providing a best-in-class environment for people to enjoy whether you’re coming here to work, visit or live and seeing businesses grow here is testament to the fantastic place that we have created.”  

SmartestEnergy is also providing CWG with renewable energy to power its operations, ensuring the energy company is staying reflective of its impact on the planet, and living its aim of reducing carbon emissions.
