I’m Gareth — an energy project consultant turned founder. Today, I lead VECKTA as CEO, where we’ve built the platform enterprises use to buy onsite energy at scale. Our mission is to turn energy from a cost center into a competitive edge. Backed by dynamic data, a vetted supplier marketplace, and billions in modeled project value, VECKTA maximizes energy savings, minimizes risks, and accelerates timelines. Enterprise teams can act with more confidence by automating site assessments, system design, and supplier selection, slashing months of manual planning. Our advisory team supports customers from planning through to contract negotiation, ensuring customers focus on the right projects and the right time with the right partner. Onsite energy protects against bloated energy costs, strengthens resilience against outages and grid volatility, and aligns financial outcomes with sustainability goals — giving companies more control over their energy future. I’ve worked across oil fields in Iraq, blackout zones in Chile, and on global consulting projects for coal, gas, and multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects. That frontline experience is what drives VECKTA: we’ve seen how traditional consultants deliver reports, not results. Our technology platform bridges the gap between strategy and execution by providing enterprises with the tools, data, and supplier access they need to deploy onsite energy with confidence, speed, and precision. - - - For my latest thoughts on energy, infrastructure, and where we’re headed, you can read my articles on Substack: https://gareth889.substack.com
