Rabot Energy Receives €50 Million — Household as a Virtual Power Plant

Hamburg — Rabot Energy, the market leader in dyna­mic elec­tri­city rates, has closed a Series B funding round tota­ling 50 million. Endeit, a growth capi­tal inves­tor specia­li­zing in Euro­pean tech scale-ups, is parti­ci­pa­ting in the round as the new lead inves­tor along­side the DeepT­ech & Climate Fund (DTCF). Among the exis­ting inves­tors parti­ci­pa­ting in the round were HV Capi­tal, High-Tech Grün­der­fonds (HTGF), Bosch Ventures, CNI, Acurio Ventures, and vent.io.

With this capi­tal, the company is embar­king on its next phase of growth with the goal of reaching one million custo­mers and conti­nues to expand its own tech­no­logy plat­form. A key compo­nent of this is the smart networ­king of house­hold battery storage systems: When bund­led toge­ther as a virtual power plant (VPP), they can contri­bute to the flexi­bi­lity of the power grid. As the elec­tri­fi­ca­tion of mobi­lity and heating increa­ses, not only does the demand for elec­tri­city rise, but the ability to flexi­bly manage consump­tion and storage also beco­mes more important.

From Consu­mer to Part of the Energy System

The elec­tri­fi­ca­tion of trans­por­ta­tion and heating, along with the expan­sion of rene­wa­ble energy, is shif­ting the focus of the energy tran­si­tion: When and how elec­tri­city is consu­med is beco­ming incre­asingly criti­cal. The focus is thus shif­ting away from gene­ra­tion and toward consump­tion. Rabot Energy offers smart elec­tri­city rates and, at the same time, helps auto­ma­ti­cally shift flexi­ble consump­tion to times when elec­tri­city is parti­cu­larly afforda­ble and comes from rene­wa­ble sources. Charge storage systems when rene­wa­ble elec­tri­city is abun­dant, and discharge them when it beco­mes scarce. Every kilo­­­watt-hour shifted in this way does not have to come from a gas-fired power plant during peak hours, and rene­wa­ble gene­ra­tion needs to be curtailed less often.

In June 2026, the company laun­ched Rabot Flow, an inte­gra­ted solu­tion combi­ning dyna­mic elec­tri­city rates, smart meters, and plug-and-play battery storage. This solu­tion can reduce the energy costs of an average house­hold by 15 percent. Deli­very takes three days, the system can be plug­ged into any stan­dard outlet, and acti­va­tion takes just under two minu­tes via the app. No private PV system is required—a rental apart­ment is sufficient.

In this way, milli­ons of indi­vi­dual house­holds come toge­ther to form a decen­tra­li­zed energy infra­struc­ture that supports the expan­sion of rene­wa­ble energy, lowers elec­tri­city costs, and makes Europe’s energy supply less depen­dent on fossil fuel imports. Each house­hold thus tran­si­ti­ons from being a mere consu­mer to beco­ming part of the system and bene­fits finan­ci­ally from its own flexibility.

Jan Rabe, CEO of Rabot Energy: “The next gene­ra­tion of power plants won’t be built—they’ll be inter­con­nec­ted. Milli­ons of house­holds hold enorm­ous, previously untap­ped poten­tial: not just to consume energy, but to intel­li­gently inte­grate it into the over­all system. With our Series B funding, we’re turning indi­vi­dual house­holds into a network that stabi­li­zes the power grid, acce­le­ra­tes the energy tran­si­tion, and, as a bonus, signi­fi­cantly lowers our custo­mers’ elec­tri­city bills.”

Sara Resvik, Part­ner at Endeit:
“The energy tran­si­tion in Germany is reaching a point where flexi­bi­lity is beco­ming just as important as the expan­sion of rene­wa­ble energy. Rabot is crea­ting the condi­ti­ons to actively involve milli­ons of house­holds: They can help stabi­lize the power grid while bene­fiting from it at the same time. Jan Rabe and his team have built a profi­ta­ble core busi­ness and possess the tech­no­logy needed to intel­li­gently manage elec­tri­city demand on a large scale. This is precis­ely the combi­na­tion requi­red by an energy system that is incre­asingly based on rene­wa­ble energy. We are proud to lead this funding round.”

Dr. Anne Hinze, Senior Invest­ment Mana­ger at DTCF:
“Rabot Energy addres­ses a key chall­enge of the energy tran­si­tion: With inno­va­tive energy rates and a smart energy manage­ment plat­form, the company enables house­holds to bene­fit from the dyna­mics of an incre­asingly vola­tile energy market. Jan and his team won me over right away with their ambi­tious vision, their outstan­ding ability to execute, and their tire­less dedi­ca­tion. We are very plea­sed to support them as part­ners on this journey.”

Growth and Financing

The finan­cing follows a period of rapid growth: Within three and a half years, Rabot Energy gained over 200,000 custo­mers, inclu­ding appro­xi­m­ately 15,000 commer­cial and indus­trial custo­mers, and increased its reve­nue to 200 million euros. The company curr­ently supplies over 200,000 custo­mers with more than 600 million kilo­­­watt-hours of green elec­tri­city. Accor­ding to Rabot Energy’s calcu­la­ti­ons, custo­mers will coll­ec­tively save appro­xi­m­ately 45 million euros in 2025 compared to the respec­tive basic provi­der rates.

From Dyna­mic Rates to a Connec­ted Energy Platform

With the capi­tal raised in its Series B round, Rabot Energy is acce­le­ra­ting the expan­sion of its offe­rings for resi­den­tial, commer­cial, and indus­trial custo­mers in Germany, the further deve­lo­p­ment of its tech­no­logy plat­form, and the inte­gra­tion of addi­tio­nal devices—from battery storage and wall boxes to heat pumps.
