GridBeyond Lands 12 Million Euro Investment from Samsung Ventures

Samsung Ventures, the corporate venture capital branch of Samsung Electronics (KRX:005930), has joined the shareholder base of GridBeyond as part of a 12 million euro equity investment, backing the company’s expansion in intelligent energy management and distributed power systems.

The investment will support GridBeyond’s growth across key markets, including the UK, Ireland, the US, Japan and Australia, while accelerating development of its platform for optimizing distributed energy assets.

GridBeyond specializes in software that manages and coordinates energy resources such as renewable generation, battery storage and electricity demand in real time. Its platform is designed to help balance supply and demand across power grids, enabling services like energy trading, frequency response and capacity market participation.

GridBeyond executives said in a Tuesday (March 17) press release that Samsung’s experience in renewable energy, battery development and engineering will complement the company's technology platform.

“We are delighted to welcome Samsung as both a shareholder and collaboration partner, it is recognition that GridBeyond has developed a world leading integrated optimisation platform,” said Deputy CEO Richard O’Loughlin.

Founded in 2010, GridBeyond has positioned itself as a player in the transition toward more flexible and digitized energy systems. It works with utilities and industrial clients to manage energy use and integrate renewable sources more efficiently, while also owning and operating some clean energy assets such as solar and battery systems.

The company has expanded internationally in recent years, including leading the optimization of a large-scale battery energy storage system in California.

GridBeyond reported revenue of 46 million euros in 2024, up from 34.3 million euros in 2023. However, it posted a 7 million euro operating loss last year as it invested in expansion, compared with a 3.4 million euro loss in the prior year.

The latest funding builds on earlier capital raises, including a Series C round in 2023 that brought in just over 52 million euros to support its international expansion strategy.
