Dutch firm Dexter Energy uses AI-based renewable power generation forecasting for short-term energy trading solutions. It has announced it raised a €10.5 million Series B round to support its expansion into new European markets as it aims to double the size of its team by the end of this year.

The round was led by ETF Partners and Astelia, including continued support from existing investors Rockstart, Newion, and PDENH.
