Scale Energy, Germany’s leading developer of industrial battery storage systems, has raised a €2M Seed funding round.
The equity funding is led by Climentum Capital, a European early-stage climate tech investor, with participation from Vireo Ventures as well as existing shareholders Antler and P3A.
With the funding, the company will expand across Germany and accelerate the deployment of industrial battery projects.
Angel investors in the round included Dr. Christine Prauschke, former Chief Digital Officer at Enpal, Henning Gebhardt, former Global Head of Equities at DWS, and Thomas Rüschen, a former Deutsche Bank Wealth Management executive.
Scale Energy focuses on accelerating Europe’s energy transition by transforming underutilized industrial grid connections into energy storage hubs. The company provides fully funded battery storage solutions that help businesses reduce electricity costs, stabilize operations, and support decarbonization—without requiring upfront investment.
Scale Energy manages the entire process, including acquisition, installation, maintenance, and regulatory approvals. Their solutions are designed for industrial sites, commercial properties, and e-mobility hubs, optimizing energy use and improving grid efficiency. By developing a decentralized battery storage network, it aims to enhance renewable energy integration, strengthen grid resilience, and promote sustainable growth.
Elias Aruna, CEO, commented: “At Scale Energy, our mission is to support industrials in redefining their energy use. We deliver solutions that reduce energy costs, stabilize the grid, and drive decarbonization.”
Dorte Hirschberg, General Partner at Climentum Capital, added: “Scale Energy is not only unlocking an immense problem in the energy transition, but the team is also solving financial scaling challenges. Few companies manage early on to bundle venture and infrastructure CapEx financing into a convincing structure that enables attractive offerings for industrial customers.”
