Companion.energy operates a platform that unifies energy contracts, live operational data, and distributed assets to continuously forecast demand, track market exposure, and automatically execute energy decisions. The company positions its software as a system of execution rather than a monitoring dashboard, directing assets to times of lower prices or profitable grid sales. Founded in 2022, the 19-person startup reports more than €1M in annual recurring revenue after tenfold growth since May 2024 and serves major customers including TotalEnergies, KPN, the Port of Antwerp–Bruges, Interparking, and Proximus Group. It now manages over 2 TWh of annual energy use and supports more than 200 MW of distributed solar, wind, batteries, and EV charging assets. Companion.energy plans to use its recent funding to enhance multi-asset, multi-market optimisation and to expand into Germany and Spain.
