Overview.
Europe has ambitious decarbonization targets, yet industrial energy buyers are struggling with structural market shifts. Price and demand volatility have surged since the energy crisis, with spot prices at times spiking to 5-10x historical levels as renewables scale and fossil generation phases out. At the same time, suppliers increasingly avoid legacy fixed-price contracts, pushing corporates into flexible, market-linked procurement structures they often lack the tooling and expertise to manage. With electricity demand rising due to electrification, energy procurement is becoming margin-critical — but most companies still rely on manual, spreadsheet-driven processes.
Onu Energy provides a purpose-built SaaS platform for corporate energy buyers that digitizes and automates procurement end to end. Today, the product focuses on futures-based procurement and core monitoring, enabling customers to access market and consumption insights, improve hedging decisions, and manage energy purchasing within one integrated workflow. Over time, the platform can expand into a broader Energy OS for C&I customers, adding spot and intraday optimization, demand-side flexibility, battery orchestration, and ISO 50001 / EnEfG-compliant energy management.
Why we invested.
Onu’s ambition is to become the central Energy OS for mid-market industrial and commercial customers, addressing fragmented procurement, rising cost volatility, and increasing operational and compliance complexity. The team has already secured high-quality customers, shown B2B recurring revenue traction, and proven that the core procurement product is scalable. With deep domain expertise and strong execution, the founders are well positioned to expand into the default energy management and optimization layer for European industry.
