Enspired Raises €40M Series B Round to Supercharge AI-Driven BESS Growth
- ByStartupStory | October 19, 2025
Vienna-based energy tech company Enspired has expanded its Series B funding to €40 million, with a view toward scaling its AI-powered Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operations globally and cementing its position in the fast-evolving clean energy space.
A New Round, Fresh Momentum
The expanded round welcomes Future Energy Ventures as a new strategic investor, joining returning backers including Zouk Capital, EnBW New Ventures, Banpu NEXT, PUSH VC, and 360 Capital. The funding will support Enspired’s next phase of growth: accelerating AI-based flexibility optimization, expanding into new geographies, and deepening its product capabilities.
The Enspired Value Proposition
Enspired operates at the intersection of energy markets and AI, offering a platform that optimizes battery storage and other power assets simultaneously across wholesale, control reserve, and ancillary services markets. The system is fully automated and developed in-house, tailored especially for Europe’s short-term power markets.
By enabling asset owners to monetize flexibility more effectively, Enspired helps unlock value for battery projects — a key enabler for the integration of renewables and more efficient grid operations.
Traction & Growth So Far
In just the past 12 months, Enspired:
-
Entered six new markets
-
Crossed the 1 GW mark of battery storage assets under management
-
Publicly released certified revenues to back its leadership claims
-
Forged a strategic partnership with Banpu NEXT to support expansion in Asia-Pacific (including Japan)
These milestones demonstrate both traction and a scalable approach to growth.
Where the Capital Goes
Enspired intends to deploy the new funds across several fronts:
-
Extend AI & software development to deepen optimization capabilities
-
Expand commercial operations and market entry efforts in Asia, the U.S., and beyond
-
Forge local partnerships (such as Banpu NEXT) to anchor growth in new regions
-
Strengthen infrastructure and support functions to handle a larger global footprint
The ambition is not just to scale, but to do so fast — riding the accelerating wave of energy transition demand.
Why It Matters
Energy storage systems are critical infrastructure in the transition to renewable energy. However, the value lies not solely in storing or discharging energy, but in optimizing how that flexibility is used. Enspired’s approach — combining AI automation with market integration — addresses a core bottleneck in leveraging BESS at scale.
Strategically, this round strengthens Enspired’s ability to compete in diverse, high-value energy markets, beyond just European deployments. The inclusion of an Asia-Pacific partner signals confidence in the company’s global roadmap.
If Enspired can maintain momentum, meet its expansion targets, and continually refine its optimization platform, it may emerge as a benchmark player in the future of battery-centric energy systems.
