Synergi is a Finnish tech company building software to connect household energy assets to grid flexibility markets. The company launched its platform in 2023 and released the Synergi app to help households optimize energy use. The app has helped thousands of European users save up to 50% on EV charging and about 20% on heating costs annually. Synergi’s platform aggregates customer-owned assets—EVs, heat pumps, and solar panels—into virtual power plants (VPPs) to nudge and reward flexibility for grid balancing. The product targets utilities and consumers, enabling utilities to monetise flexibility and provide a turnkey app solution to customers. With recent funding, Synergi plans to expand into Nordic and central European flexibility markets and grow engineering, sales, and marketing teams. Synergi builds software that aggregates household energy resources to make electricity consumption smart, controllable and able to participate in demand-response markets. As a starting point users can connect EVs and PHEVs to the platform for smart charging; later in 2023 Synergi plans to add solar production, heat pumps, water boilers and other major household energy resources. The company says its tools will help households shift usage away from peak hours, lower emissions from the grid and provide flexibility to balance supply and demand as more inflexible renewable sources come online. Founded during the summer by Antti Hämmäinen, Harri Iisakka and Petrus Holm, Synergi will use new capital to develop its technology and launch more broadly in Finland and an additional target market in 2023. Financially, Synergi has raised €800k in a pre-seed round led by Lifeline Ventures and APX to support product development and market launch. The startup positions its offering as a response to rising energy prices and grid imbalances in Europe, aiming to turn households into active contributors to the energy system.
