ecoplanet, the Munich-based energy management software leader, has raised €16 million in a Series A funding round. The round was led by EQT Ventures, with continued support from HV Capital and contributions from additional market experts. This funding shows strong trust in ecoplanet's ability to solve Europe’s energy problems through innovative solutions.
EQT Ventures, known for growing sustainability-focused businesses, and HV Capital, a long-time supporter of ecoplanet, played key roles in this round. Their support gives ecoplanet both credibility and resources to move forward. The company has not shared its post-money valuation, but the level of investment points to its strong potential.
The European energy sector is facing major challenges, with price fluctuations rising by 500% since 2019. More than 200,000 businesses are at risk due to high costs and complex regulations. Renewables now make up over half of electricity generation, making efficient energy management solutions even more necessary.
“Energy markets are undergoing a paradigm shift. With renewables already exceeding 50% of electricity generation, a fully integrated energy management is essential. Just as households charge EVs when solar output is high, businesses must align energy use with availability. As the share of renewables grows further, ecoplanet enables customers to benefit from green electricity at optimal times, pioneering AI-powered software for smarter business operations in Germany and beyond.”

By using advanced AI, ecoplanet aims to help businesses save more energy, lower costs, and follow regulations more easily.
The funds will also help ecoplanet grow into new markets and reach more customers. The company plans to lead innovation in the energy sector, helping businesses turn unpredictable energy markets into opportunities to grow and succeed.
