Participated · Series B · Oct 2025
Enspired operates a fully automated, in-house trading platform that simultaneously optimises batteries and other flexible power assets across wholesale, control reserve and ancillary service markets. Its core value proposition is to monetise asset flexibility quickly, reducing time-to-market for BESS owners while maximising revenue opportunities in Europe’s short-term power markets. Over the past 12 months the company entered six new European markets and now manages more than 1 GW of BESS capacity, underscoring rapid growth and scale. Management positions the platform’s AI capabilities as a critical lever to accelerate the global energy transition and alleviate bottlenecks created by rising renewable penetration. Certified revenue disclosures have been published to demonstrate commercial leadership, though absolute figures were not provided. Looking ahead, Enspired plans to extend its multi-market optimisation model into Asia and the United States, beginning with a partnership with Banpu NEXT in Japan. The newly secured funding will finance continued product innovation, geographic expansion and the rollout of additional AI-powered use cases.
