This strategic collaboration brings together Capgemini’s delivery integration and transformation expertise with Gorilla’s Energy Margin Intelligence Platform

As energy markets become more volatile and complex, energy suppliers are under increasing pressure to protect margins while responding to regulatory change, renewables integration and evolving customer demand. Against this backdrop, Capgemini has entered a strategic UK-local alliance with Gorilla, a leading energy‑sector technology provider, to help clients turn complex data into actionable margin insight. This collaboration, driven by innovation and enabled by the Capgemini Ventures team, reflects our shared commitment to shaping the future of energy margin intelligence.

Combining platform innovation with execution at scale

Founded in 2019, Gorilla established itself as a disruptive force in energy pricing, enabling utilities to generate sophisticated B2B quotes in minutes rather than days – even for customers with large, multi‑meter estates. This capability quickly proved its value against legacy technologies and gained adoption across the UK and Europe.

Gorilla has since evolved its offering into the Gorilla Energy Margin Intelligence Platform, broadening its focus from pricing and forecasting to margin optimisation across pricing, trading and consumption data. The platform is designed to help energy retailers identify where margins are eroded and where small changes can have a disproportionately positive commercial impact.

Through this collaboration, Capgemini brings its deep expertise in energy transformation, systems integration and automation to complement Gorilla’s platform capabilities – moving clients from insight to action at pace.

Together, we will design margin into energy retail: using Gorilla’s core platform as the intelligence layer across multiple integrated systems and combining it with Capgemini’s delivery expertise to give clients more detailed, timely and actionable insight.

Why margin intelligence matters now

In the energy sector, increased renewable penetration, regulatory reform, and volatile demand patterns are making traditional margin management approaches insufficient. Margin intelligence is becoming a strategic necessity.

The Gorilla Energy Margin Intelligence Platform addresses this challenge by aggregating and analysing large volumes of data from across pricing, trading and operational systems, delivering near real‑time insights into margin leakage across products, regions and portfolios.

Key capabilities of the Gorilla platform

The platform brings together a comprehensive set of energy‑specific capabilities, including:

  • Real‑time margin analysis across portfolios, products and regions
  • Scenario modelling to assess the impact of market movements, policy change and pricing decisions
  • Advanced pricing modules covering bespoke B2B pricing, SME and residential pricing, and PPA pricing
  • Billing determinant calculation, using granular interval data to support complex and innovative tariffs
  • High‑speed forecasting at meter and portfolio level, supporting both commercial decision‑making and net‑zero objectives
  • Customisable dashboards, automated data processing and integration with existing trading, risk and ERP systems

Together, these capabilities provide a robust foundation for margin optimisation in increasingly dynamic energy markets.

Capgemini’s role: from insight to impact

Capgemini’s role is to help clients integrate the platform effectively into their broader business and technology landscape. This includes system integration, process automation and operational transformation, ensuring that margin intelligence is embedded into day-to-day decision-making, not treated as a standalone analytics function.

What differentiates Capgemini is our combination of deep energy retail expertise and the ability to design intelligent operating models that will define the utility of the future. We understand the industry-specific realities clients are dealing with – from pricing, billing and settlement to customer operations, risk and regulatory change – and how these functions need to work together. That puts us in a strong position not only to integrate margin intelligence into today’s operations, but to help clients build a more connected, increasingly agentic utility: one where insight, automation and decision-making work in harmony to protect and grow margin.

As the Gorilla Margin Intelligence Platform matures toward beta and production releases, Capgemini is well positioned to support clients in integrating it with legacy systems, scaling its impact across the enterprise, and turning margin insight into measurable business outcomes.

Looking ahead

As energy organisations navigate the dual challenge of commercial pressure and energy transition, the ability to understand, protect and optimise margin will be critical. By combining Gorilla’s Energy Margin Intelligence Platform with Capgemini’s delivery, integration and transformation expertise, this collaboration is well positioned to help clients turn complex data into confident decisions – and decisions into results.

“Suppliers have never had more data, yet margin still slips through the gaps between pricing, trading and billing. We built the Energy Margin Intelligence Platform to close those gaps and show commercial teams precisely where margin is made and lost. With Capgemini, that intelligence reaches further: their integration and transformation expertise embeds it into the everyday decisions that run an energy business, helping clients protect and grow margin at scale.” – Ruben Van den Bossche, CEO, Gorilla

“In a market with ever-increasing competition, it’s critical that we as a leading systems integrator create industry-relevant solutions in collaboration with leading ecosystem partners. In the Energy Retail market, pricing and customer data are the key currency. Combining data insight with Agentic solutions allows our customers to leverage the maximum value from their business. Gorilla is a market leader for B2B pricing and margin intelligence and forms a key component of our tailored industry offering for B2B CRM and Billing.” – Piers Dove, Global Head of Customer Experience for Energy Transition & Utilities, Capgemini
