Eneco leads €8 million investment round in German energy tech company suena energy
Dutch energy company Eneco was the lead investor in an €8 million Series A funding round for suena energy, a German technology company specializing in algorithmic optimization of and trading for energy storage systems. Eneco’s investment arm Eneco Ventures was joined by impact investor 4impact capital, while existing investors InnoEnergy, J.O.S.S., Santander, and Energie 360° also participated. suena energy will use the fresh capital to strengthen its position in the energy storage market by scaling its business model and expanding into new markets.
suena’s proprietary Energy Trading Autopilot enables fully automated, AI-driven trading of flexibilities across all relevant power and ancillary service markets. Using real-time data and forecasts, the platform generates optimal dispatch schedules to maximize revenues while minimizing risk and battery degradation.
A key focus of the growth strategy is the rapidly expanding market for co-located storage.

“This funding round marks a strategic milestone for us, enabling us to take our business model to the next level – with strong partners at our side who share our vision. Eneco Ventures and 4impact are highly complementary to our existing investor base. Their strategic-operational and digital technology expertise bring us closer to our goal of becoming a leading provider of intelligent flexibility trading in Europe.”
