About Entrix

Entrix is driving the energy transition through the optimal use of flexibility in the energy system. To achieve this, Entrix employs proprietary algorithms powered by artificial intelligence, which manage the electricity from flexible energy assets such as large-scale battery storage systems. Entrix ensures that supply and demand in the electricity system are balanced, resulting in a safer and faster energy transition. The company offers optimization solutions for large battery storage systems, “hybrid systems” consisting of renewable generation and storage, as well as virtual power plants (VPPs), where smaller energy systems are placed in the market together.

In doing so, Entrix collaborates closely with renowned companies in the energy sector such as Deutsche Kreditbank AG (DKB) on financing, Aurora Energy Research in market analysis, and suppliers of storage systems. This ensures that customers’ assets consistently achieve their maximum potential.

Founded in Munich in 2021, Entrix’ team combines in-depth industry and technology expertise. The growth of Entrix is financed by leading companies in the energy sector, notably the Greentech unicorn Enpal, Hamburg’s family office ABACON CAPITAL, and the Clean Energy Investor Pelion Green Future.
