Dutch company Tibo has raised €6 million for its AI-driven energy management system. KOMPAS VC led the round with participation from Hitachi Ventures, WEPA Ventures, SET Ventures, and Speedinvest. With the new capital injection, Tibo Energy will expand into Germany and Belgium.
Real-time control
Since the end of 2023, Tibo Energy's AI-driven energy management system (EMS) has been running at more than 30 industrial sites. The system helps companies get more capacity out of their existing infrastructure by intelligently controlling distributed energy assets in real time. This allows them to grow without having to wait for grid expansions.
Preventing grid congestion
Grid congestion is already a growing problem in the Netherlands. Companies face high peak load costs and often have to wait years for grid upgrades. Tibo's software frees up extra capacity by flexibly controlling local energy assets. According to signals from Germany and Spain, the problem is also becoming increasingly prevalent there.
AI engine Alice
At the heart of the platform is the AI engine Alice. It optimizes energy flows every five minutes, based on live data, price forecasts, and contract limits. Alice controls assets based on predictions, rather than simply reacting. The system is hardware-independent and scales with solar panels, batteries, charging infrastructure, and other assets.
“Infrastructure limitations shouldn’t hold back the energy transition,” said Remco Eikhout, our CEO and co-founder. “Alice enables industrial players to leverage unused capacity, predict risks, and optimize in near real-time—whether you’re managing a single battery or a full EnergyHub. This funding helps us bring that flexibility to more European customers.”
