Best energy and climate-tech design agencies (2026)

We wrote this list and we are on it, so read it with that in mind. We have described every other agency from its own website and the case studies it publishes. Where a page did not say something, we left it out.

Search for an energy design agency and most of what comes back is a directory filter or a services page with no work behind it. Plenty of studios list renewables as a sector. Far fewer can show you a monitoring dashboard or an emissions tool they designed, so that was the bar for this list.

One thing stood out while we were researching. Nearly all of this work is coming from studios in the US, Europe and India. We could not find a Gulf-based design studio, other than ourselves, with a public energy product case study. Design Monks lists a Dubai office among several. If you know a Gulf studio we missed, tell us and we will look at their work.

What we looked for

• A case study you can open. A logo or a services page did not count.
• Product or UX work. Dashboards, monitoring tools, platforms and apps. Brand-only climate agencies are a different purchase.
• An energy, renewables or climate-tech client. Utilities, solar and wind monitoring, carbon, energy sharing, battery supply chain data.

We have not ranked them. The right one depends on what you are building, and the table should get you to a shortlist faster than an ordered list would.

The list at a glance

Gulf-based

Anyday

Anyday is a product design subscription for funded startups, based in Dubai. Our energy work is NGX, a seed-stage climate-tech platform that helps operations-heavy businesses measure, track and cut their carbon emissions. We designed across its three products: Reality, an operations and emissions overview that reads utility bills with OCR and tracks GHG in kg CO2e; Trace, which monitors solar, wind and EV systems on a live map; and Energy Bank, for allocating renewable energy under chain-of-custody frameworks. We also built NGX's brand and marketing site.

• Best for: a funded climate or energy startup that wants product, brand and web from the same senior people, month to month.
• Limitation: NGX is our one public energy case study. We do not do hardware or industrial design, and if you want a large team running a multi-year enterprise programme, a consultancy will suit you better.

Climate and energy specialists

Purpose Design Co.

A studio focused on clean energy, renewable energy and climate-tech companies. It offers product and interface design, research, brand, and fractional design leadership. It is run by Sarah Berchild, a former Senior Director of UX at Salesforce. The clearest energy case study is Aire Labs, a 12-month engagement turning spreadsheet-based clean energy project data into a platform for developers and financiers, with techno-economic analysis built in. It also shows RiverCarbon Tracker, a carbon removal monitoring tool.

• Best for: climate software companies that want deep research with real users, such as project developers and financiers, and senior UX leadership.
• Limitation: the site says it is aimed at sustainability software companies with $20MM+ revenue, so an early-stage team may be outside its usual client. It does not state where it is based.

What If Design

A creative studio for climate and clean-tech companies covering brand, websites, UX and pitch decks. It was founded in 2020 and describes itself as remote-first, closest to San Francisco and Bangalore. Its most product-led climate project is VestedX, a platform connecting climate tech vendors with corporate buyers, redesigned in two months with a Figma design system. It has also done brand and web for Shine, an on-site solar company for multi-family buildings, and Susteon, a carbon capture company.

• Best for: an early climate startup that needs its brand, website and first product UX in one go.
• Limitation: most of the climate work on show is brand and website. We did not see an operational dashboard such as asset monitoring or emissions reporting among its case studies.

Bridge Studio

A UX and branding agency in Madrid whose homepage says it helps renewable energy companies lead the energy transition. Its energy-adjacent case study is a custom price builder dashboard for Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, a data provider for the lithium-ion battery and EV supply chain, where analysts build and export their own commodity price charts. It also offers a UX retainer alongside project work.

• Best for: energy data and market intelligence products, where the user is an analyst comparing and exporting data.
• Limitation: the case study on show is supply chain pricing data. We did not find published work on generation assets, field operations or emissions reporting.

Product studios with energy work in the portfolio

Onething Design

A design agency with offices in Gurugram, Bengaluru and San Francisco, covering CX strategy, digital products, websites and branding, with energy as one of its industries. Its energy case study is Prescinto, a clean energy monitoring platform the page describes as an IBM company. Onething redesigned the monitoring dashboards and website, with modular widgets for plant performance, alerts and anomaly detection across solar and wind assets in different locations.

• Best for: renewable asset monitoring platforms with plant-level KPIs and many sites.
• Limitation: the published case study is light on process and outcome detail, so ask for a walkthrough of the dashboard work before you decide.

Pecode

A software development firm based in Tallinn, with an office in Lviv, offering UI/UX alongside web and mobile development. Its solar energy management case study covers a web app for monitoring solar plants, with role-based views, real-time and historical charts, colour-coded alerts, and energy, cost and CO2 savings.

• Best for: a team that wants UI/UX and engineering from the same vendor.
• Limitation: the client is not named and no results are given beyond the client's feedback. Design is one service among many here.

Fireart Studio

A design and development studio in Warsaw. Its Sprightful case study is a 10-month build in 2020 of a homeowner solar app: a discovery workshop, user-tested wireframes, mobile-first dashboards that answer questions like how much the user saved this month, and the React front end and billing calculations behind them.

• Best for: consumer-facing solar and home energy apps that need design and build together.
• Limitation: the energy work on show is homeowner-facing. If your users are plant operators or asset managers, ask for operator-side examples.

Design Monks

A UI/UX, branding and web agency with offices listed in the US, Dubai, Dhaka and several other countries. Its renewable case study is Yenex, a platform for distributed energy systems, where it designed the website, web app and mobile app over 10 weeks, including a step-by-step flow for choosing components for a home system.

• Best for: customer-facing renewable websites and early-stage platforms.
• Limitation: the case study reports no results, and the work leans educational and consumer. The Dubai office is one of eight and the site does not name a headquarters.

Netguru

A software company based in Poznań with a design practice. For Salzburg AG it designed a community energy-sharing platform where households buy surplus solar from neighbours. The scope ran from brand workshops and field research to prototyping, billing UX and user testing, with members able to see what they generate, what the community uses and their CO2 savings.

• Best for: utilities and energy companies building a consumer product that also needs engineering capacity.
• Limitation: the case study gives no results or project year, and Netguru is primarily a development company, so check who the senior designer on your project would be.

Enterprise consultancy

frog

A global design consultancy, founded in 1969, headquartered in San Francisco and now part of Capgemini Invent. Its GE case study includes redesigning GE Energy's myFleet software, which frog says increased operational efficiency at power plants. It was part of a wider GE programme that ran from 2010 to 2015.

• Best for: large utilities and industrial companies running multi-year, organisation-wide programmes.
• Limitation: the energy work on show is around a decade old, and frog is set up for enterprise programmes, which is more than most startups need.

How to choose an energy design partner

Work out what kind of energy product you have before you compare portfolios. Then ask questions that only someone who has done the work can answer.

• Data-dense dashboards. Ask how they show data freshness, gaps and estimated values. A team that has done this will talk about provenance and units straight away. We wrote up the seven patterns we use on energy dashboards if you want a benchmark.
• Field and operator UX. Ask whether their work has been used outdoors, offline or with gloves, and how they handle actions that cannot be undone, like curtailing a site. More on why that matters in what makes energy products different.
• Regulatory and ESG reporting. Ask to see an export or report they designed, not only the screen. If the output goes to an auditor, a lender or a regulator, it is part of the product.
• Multi-asset monitoring. Ask how they would show solar, wind, storage or EV chargers side by side when each has different KPIs. Look for one status language across asset types and a clear route from the portfolio down to a single reading. For chargers specifically, see EV charging operator dashboards.
• The people. Ask who from the pitch will do the work, and whether you keep them after month one. We raise the same question in our Dubai agencies list. It matters more in energy, because the learning curve is steep.

If you are a climate startup at seed or Series A, a specialist or a senior product studio will usually fit better than a consultancy. If you are a utility with a multi-year programme and a procurement team, the reverse is often true.
