#  EDDY GRID RAISES €7.5 MILLION AFTER 100X GROWTH IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. 

## Press Release

The three-year-old energy startup is cash-flow positive and growing nearly 900% in one year, surpasses 500 MW under management, and takes its first steps in Germany.

**Utrecht, 28 May 2026** – Eddy Grid, Europe's fastest-growing independent energy  
optimizer, has closed a new financing round of €7.5 million that values the company  
more than 20 times higher than just two years ago. The round was funded almost  
entirely internally, underscoring the strong confidence of existing investors, including  
Graduate Ventures and Volve Capital. Nearly €1 million in secondary transactions were  
also realized for existing shareholders. Once again, a powerful signal of confidence in the  
young company.

*“As VCs, we rarely see a team that executes with such speed from day one as*  
*Eddy Grid. The growth over the past three years shows that Eddy Grid is not*  
*only at the forefront technologically but is also a magnet for ambitious people*  
*who want to build the future of energy. The recent tensions and energy*  
*uncertainty, in particular, underscore how important smart, independent energy*  
*infrastructure is and why technology like Eddy Grid is the global solution.."*  
**Maurits Hovius, General Partner at Volve Capital**

In addition to explosive revenue growth of nearly 900% in 2025 and the prospect of  
another 1000% growth in 2026, Eddy Grid is already cash flow positive, a rarity for a  
startup in this growth phase. The new round is therefore primarily aimed at further  
strengthening the balance sheet, so that Eddy Grid becomes an even stronger partner  
for its rapidly growing client portfolio. The team has grown from 16 to 60 employees  
since January 2025.

*“The phenomenal speed at which Eddy Grid is developing and growing is*  
*entirely due to the exceptional team behind it. Eddy Grid has a unique mix of*  
*world-class talent and an ironclad corporate culture, and that is exactly what*  
*you need if you want to become a global player.”*  
**Auke van den Hout, Managing Partner at Graduate Ventures**

Eddy Grid's algorithms have proven time and again to generate the highest returns on  
the market across a wide range of products. Owners of solar farms, wind turbines, and  
batteries are increasingly discovering that switching to Eddy Grid immediately leads to significantly higher revenues. The result: the sales and operations teams are working at  
full capacity to keep up with the growing demand.

The first international steps have now been taken. Eddy Grid currently serves customers  
in the Netherlands and Belgium and is preparing for the go-live in Germany. In addition,  
the company has comfortably surpassed the 500 MW under management mark, making  
it the largest independent optimizer in the Netherlands. Eddy Grid's customers now  
produce more electricity than the city of Utrecht consumes.

*“The optimization of energy assets is becoming increasingly complex at a rapid*  
*pace, especially now that solar, wind, and batteries are increasingly being combined*  
*behind a single connection. It is precisely in this complexity that our strength lies.*  
*The fact that we are growing rapidly and are cash flow-positive proves that our*  
*approach works. With this round, we are strengthening our position as market*  
*leader and accelerating the move towards a sustainable energy grid in Europe.”*  
**Sam Rohn, CEO & co-founder Eddy Grid**
