Sympower runs a flexibility platform that aggregates and optimizes distributed energy assets to help balance Europe's electricity grids. The Amsterdam-based company combines industrial demand response, battery energy storage optimization, and renewable system optimization, dispatching flexible capacity into balancing and ancillary service markets across multiple European countries. Industrial sites, storage operators, and renewable producers use Sympower to earn revenue from flexibility while supporting grid stability and the energy transition. Founded in 2015 by Simon Bushell and Georg Rute, Sympower raised a 19 million euro extension in September 2025 led by pension investor PGGM, taking its Series B1 to 42 million euros and total funding to roughly $83 million.
