Kraken Technologies is the United Kingdom energy technology company behind Kraken, the licensed cloud operating system for utilities. Founded in 2016 inside Octopus Energy and spun out as an independent business, Kraken says it supports more than 90 million customer accounts for licensees including E.ON Next, EDF, Origin, Tokyo Gas, National Grid, Good Energy, Plenitude, Energy Queensland, Essential Energy, Portsmouth Water and TalkTalk across electricity, gas, water and broadband. It sits one layer behind the utility rather than in front of the consumer: it does not hold a supply licence, does not settle in the wholesale market and does not publish grid or market data, so the retailers and networks it powers carry the regulatory obligations, not Kraken. Its API posture matches that position and is honestly closed. The Open Kraken programme publicly advertises APIs, events, embedded apps, Flow automation and an MCP-based AI access layer, but every reference surface is gated: docs.kraken.tech forces SSO login on every path, no base URL or endpoint is published anywhere, the Tako design-system package requires a private npm token issued by email, and the Marketplace runs under signed access-and-use terms. There is no self-serve developer signup, no consumer data-portability API of its own, and no open market data.
