Eddy Grid has closed a €7.5 million funding round, and the energy optimization startup did it while already turning a profit. The company, based in Utrecht, announced the round on 28 May 2026. Existing investors funded almost the entire round, including Graduate Ventures and Volve Capital. That detail matters because it shows backers doubling down rather than new money chasing a trend.
The round values Eddy Grid at more than 20 times what it was worth just two years ago. Alongside the raise, nearly €1 million in secondary transactions gave existing shareholders an exit on part of their stake.
What Eddy Grid Does:
Eddy Grid builds algorithms that squeeze more revenue out of renewable energy assets. Think solar farms, wind turbines, and battery systems. The software trades and balances these assets in real time on energy markets, so owners earn more from the same hardware.
Beyond the core optimization, the Eddy Grid website lists services for businesses that want a transparent energy contract, congestion support as a CSP, and full BRP coverage for self-trading portfolios. The pitch is simple. Owners switch to Eddy Grid, and the optimization does the heavy lifting in the background.
Numbers Behind the Round:
Revenue grew nearly 900% in 2025. Eddy Grid expects another 1000% in 2026. The company is cash flow positive, which is rare for a startup growing this fast.
The team has scaled to match. Headcount went from 16 employees in January 2025 to 60 today. Both lead investors point to that team as the reason for the pace. Maurits Hovius of Volve Capital says they rarely see a group execute with this much speed from day one, and Auke van den Hout of Graduate Ventures credits a mix of strong talent and a tight company culture.
From 500 MW to Germany:
Eddy Grid now manages more than 500 MW, making it the largest independent optimizer in the Netherlands. To put that in plain terms, its customers produce more electricity than the entire city of Utrecht consumes. That scale gives the renewable energy optimizer a real edge, because more assets under management means more data, and more data sharpens the algorithms that decide when to charge a battery, when to sell solar output, and when to hold. CEO and co-founder Sam Rohn points to the growing complexity of combining solar, wind, and batteries behind a single grid connection as exactly where the company performs best.
That position now stretches past the home market. Eddy Grid currently serves customers in the Netherlands and Belgium, and Germany is next, with the company preparing for go-live in Europe’s biggest energy market. Germany adds a large pool of solar, wind, and battery owners who face the same balancing challenges, and the expansion follows the same playbook that worked at home, where Eddy Grid built a clear lead before crossing the border.
Why this Round Matters Now:
The energy transition keeps pushing more solar, wind, and battery capacity onto the grid. All that flexible supply needs smart coordination, and grid balancing is becoming a paying market rather than a side benefit. Eddy Grid sits right in that gap. For operators and developers, the takeaway is concrete. Energy optimization software now generates measurable returns, and the companies building it can reach profitability at a young age.
The EnergyTech startup Eddy Grid plans to use the fresh capital to strengthen its balance sheet rather than fund losses, which makes it a steadier partner for the asset owners signing up and supports the German launch. The story here is straightforward. A three-year-old energy startup grew revenue nearly 900% in 2025, reached profitability, crossed 500 MW under management, and raised €7.5 million from investors who already knew the business inside out. Eddy Grid has built a clear position as an independent energy optimizer, and the next chapter runs through Germany.
