Offers turnkey on‑site renewable energy systems for commercial and industrial clients, reducing costs and emissions MoreLess
Enerkii is a Munich-based climate-tech startup founded in March 2024 that offers an Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model for industrial and commercial clients. Rather than simply installing solar panels, Enerkii acts as an on-site mini-utility, delivering integrated solutions that include solar generation, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, and soon, heat pumps—all under performance-based contracts requiring zero upfront investment.
Central to its offering is enerkii OS, a proprietary operating system that uses real-time load analysis to configure optimal energy systems in about 15 minutes. This AI-driven platform facilitates smart energy distribution, peak shaving, and autonomous interaction with the electrical grid.
Enerkii has already signed 18 contracts with industrial customers in Germany, totaling 87 MW of capacity, and is planning a broader European rollout. Clients benefit from average energy cost reductions of up to 50%, making it an attractive decarbonization solution with minimal operational risk.
In July 2025, the company raised a mid–single-digit million-euro investment in a funding round led by World Fund, aimed at scaling its team and expanding across Europe.
The company was founded by David Balensiefen—who previously co-founded gridX and led its exit to E.ON—alongside Henry Thierhoff and Hendrik Abel, all with backgrounds in energy tech innovation.
