ecoplanet secures €16M Series A led by EQT Ventures

ecoplanet, the energy management software provider, has completed a €16M Series A funding round led by EQT Ventures, with continued support from HV Capital and other angel investors.

ecoplanet's database aims to minimise manual effort while ensuring compliance with new regulations, in order to simplify energy management. The European energy landscape has shifted significantly with new energy price volatility and energy costs often adding significantly to operating expenses. 

The platform manages 2 TWh across over 2,000 locations, so its AI-based software simplifies energy management by integrating supply- and demand-side processes. This is done by optimising energy usage, lowering costs and ensuring regulatory compliance.

The funding will be used to accelerate go-to-market and further build out technological capabilities, focusing on leveraging AI from individual machine-level to the energy market. “Our €16 million Series A round marks a significant milestone,” said co-founder Maximilian Dekorsy

“Rising and increasingly volatile energy costs have become a critical threat to European businesses, with the potential to drive many out of business if left unaddressed. Our software empowers companies to cut energy expenses, turn challenges into growth opportunities, and secure their long-term survival.”

“Energy markets are undergoing a paradigm shift. With renewables already exceeding 50% of electricity generation, a fully integrated energy management is essential,” added co-founder Dr. Henry Keppler. “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.”
