Liberty Global, ATX Networks sustainablity partnership

September 30, 2025

ATX Networks, a provider of intelligent broadband access and energy solutions, has announced its selection by Liberty Global for a strategic energy trial aimed at transforming backup power infrastructure across Europe. This initiative marks a pivotal step in Liberty Global’s commitment to sustainability, cost efficiency and grid resilience.

Liberty Global is partnering with ATX to pilot next-generation Areca Hybrid Supercapacitor technology. These trials are designed to explore how ATX’s green energy solutions can support peak shaving, reduce grid strain, and unlock new economic models for energy management.

“We’re not just participating in the sustainability movement — we’re helping lead it,” said Henk Coetzee, Director of M&E Architecture at Liberty Global. “By trialing ATX’s Areca Hybrid Supercapacitors, we’re evaluating smarter ways to power our networks while aligning with the EU’s aggressive decarbonisation goals.”
In the UK, Liberty Global has observed energy price differentials of up to 55 GBX between peak and off-peak hours. ATX’s Areca Hybrid Supercapacitors offer rapid charge/discharge capabilities and long lifecycle performance, enabling Liberty Global to participate in peak shaving programmes that reduce operational costs and generate new revenue streams.
The trial supports Liberty Global’s broader strategy to eliminate diesel generators in favour of cleaner, quieter, and more efficient backup systems. ATX’s energy storage solutions not only extend backup runtimes but also reduce maintenance and environmental impact — delivering a future-ready alternative to legacy lead-acid batteries.
“Liberty Global is ahead of the curve — and we’re proud to be the technology partner helping them get there,” said Julie Davis, VP of Sales, Energy Storage at ATX Networks. “Our solutions are designed to pay for themselves, both economically and environmentally.”
