Einklang secures €2.2M for battery-optimised industrial power solutions

• ByStartupStory     |    February 23, 2026

Einklang has raised new funding to expand its integrated energy platform for mid-sized companies, aiming to reduce electricity costs and increase renewable power use through battery-optimised tariffs and intelligent energy management.

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.
