We're all about connection

We are DCC

Making Britain more connected so we can all lead smarter, greener lives

Our mission is to help digitise Britain’s energy network, make a critical contribution in the effort to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions and improve the nation’s connectivity.

Working here

Smart people working as one

The DCC operates as a monopoly under licence, funded by its customers, the energy suppliers and distribution network operators. That means we have to work hard to provide the best service and value for both customers and energy consumers. We’re a technology company that supports the whole industry, doing work that's never been done before.
 

We're resilient, fast-paced and always innovating, and we're looking for like-minded people who want to make a difference. So if you’re fired up by our mission to transform Britain’s energy system through digitisation, and help everyone lead smarter, greener lives, this is the place for you.
