\n

Enerkii has closed an undisclosed financing round led by World Fund, a leading VC in the European Climatetech<\/a>The startup intends to use the capital to advance its European expansion and fill key positions. Its goal is to become the leading provider of decentralized renewable energy for industry and commerce in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enerkii was founded in March 2024 by David Balensiefen, Henry Thierhoff, and Hendrik Abel. The startup offers a combined software and hardware solution that provides industrial companies with access to green energy \u2013 without any investment risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using its proprietary Enerkii OS, the company quickly calculates the optimal energy system configuration for individual locations. The startup then takes over Energy-as-a-Service model<\/a> The financing, installation, and operation of the systems directly at the customer's site are provided. This includes PV systems, battery storage, charging infrastructure, and a system for smart residual power procurement. Enerkii operates as an independent energy supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"What has been missing so far is a plant operator that can offer expertise, financing, and operations from a single source. With Enerkii, we close this gap. There's no investment, no complexity. We only earn when the customer saves. This makes decarbonization a no-brainer and an immediate competitive advantage,"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

so Hendrik Abel<\/strong>, co-founder of Enerkii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, customers save an average of 50 percent compared to their previous electricity bills. At the same time, they receive a resilient, self-sufficient power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry Thierhoff<\/strong>, also co-founder of the startup, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe offer a package where sustainability is not just an altruistic act rewarded with a green premium, but where there is actually a green discount.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Enerkii says it has already signed 18 contracts with renowned German industrial companies. The planned plants have a total capacity of more than 87 megawatts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daria Saharova<\/strong>, General Partner at the World Fund, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"More than a quarter of energy consumption in the EU is attributable to industry, but 80 percent of German industrial sites still rely on fossil fuels. Enerkii is changing that. The company reduces energy bills by 50 percent, eliminates risk for customers, and reduces emissions. Led by entrepreneurs who have already achieved success, Enerkii is positioned to decarbonize one of Europe's most polluting sectors."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
