Overview.
SMEs need stable green power and price certainty. Most are shut out of direct PPAs. Minimum volumes are high. Contract terms are complex and slow. Credit checks and perceived risk block smaller buyers. Many still use traditional procurement and stay exposed to volatile prices. Planning is hard without long term visibility on cost and volume.
ECO2GROW began by aggregating SMEs into multi buyer PPAs. The platform lowers entry thresholds, standardizes paperwork, and connects smaller buyers to solar and wind assets while keeping existing supply setups intact. That was the first wedge. The company has since refocused on an automated utility for B2B customers. The product aims to manage budgeting, hedging, and consumption with algorithms that optimize by load profile. An MVP is live. First live customers are planned for Q4 2025.
Why we invested.
Opening PPAs to SMEs is a large, under-served market. Aggregation and standard terms can create bankable volumes for generators and predictable costs for buyers. We underwrote the team’s ability to package portfolio risk, simplify contracting, and plug into existing supply setups as the market matures. As capture rates shift and price volatility rises, buyers will need automation that blends procurement and demand optimization.
