Cologne-based Einklang, which specialises in
integrated energy solutions for Germany’s mid-sized companies, has secured €2.2
million in funding. The round was led by Vireo Ventures, with participation
from SI Ventures, Saxovent, Angel Invest, Heimatboost and DnA Ventures.
Einklang is an Energy-as-a-Service provider
focused on serving small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany. The company
delivers integrated electricity solutions for commercial and industrial
customers, combining intelligent control systems, battery storage, and flexible
tariffs without requiring upfront investment or operational effort from
customers.
Its offering is designed to help businesses reduce electricity
costs, increase energy autonomy, and expand the use of renewable power.
The company is part of a new generation of
energy ecosystem spin-offs. Its founders, Lucas Jonas, Jonathan Schulte, Paul Ziche, and José Neri, bring experience from building and scaling companies, including Voltfang and Impuls Energy. This background in industrial energy
systems and algorithmic energy trading underpins Einklang’s technology
approach.
Lucas Jonas, co-founder and CEO of Einklang,
said the company is addressing a key challenge in the energy transition:
While energy-intensive industries are granted
relief through tailored regulations, mid-size companies continue to face high
electricity prices. The issue isn’t renewable energy itself, but rather price
volatility, high grid charges, consumption peaks, and a lack of flexibility.
Our solution tackles exactly these problems.
Jonas added that the company’s objective is to
enable businesses to automatically use electricity when renewable generation is
high, without adding operational complexity.
Einklang integrates electricity procurement,
storage and consumption to help companies automatically source power when it is
cheaper and more renewable. The system is designed to reduce price volatility
and peak loads, lower grid fees, and improve planning visibility. The solution
is already in use at manufacturing and industrial sites, with implementation
typically completed within three months.
Following the funding round, Einklang plans to
further develop its technology platform and expand strategic partnerships as it
works to scale flexible energy systems for mid-sized businesses.
The company
aims to grow its battery-optimised electricity tariff solution across
commercial and industrial customers, targeting expansion to 100 customer sites
by 2026.
