@furoenergy raised $4M led by @TQVentures , with @neo , Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners and CDTM Venture Capital to build the operating system for industrial battery storage ⚡️🧡

July made it three months in a row where solar was the single largest source of electricity in the EU 🇪🇺
May: 23.5%
June: 25.0%
July: 24.9%
All fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil etc.) combined were just narrowly higher in July at 25.4%.
You might remember the graph on the flattened duck curve in Australia caused by batteries that went viral on LinkedIn a while ago. But how does this compare to Germany?
I pulled three years of German day-ahead prices from ENTSO-E and built the same chart.

In Australia this curve is flattening because of more battery storage on the grid.
By charging during the middle of the day and discharging during the evening peak, batteries create demand when prices are low and add supply when prices are high.

This chart shows average wholesale electricity prices in Germany during the second quarter of each year.
Solar generation is pushing midday prices deep into low territory while evening prices stay extremely high.

Every load will have an uninterruptible power supply (battery).
The grid will become much more resilient than is even *possible* with centralized infrastructure alone.

fun fact: demand is higher when the Sun is out
bonus fact: batteries can store energy
Most industrial batteries are sized wrong.
Companies calculate based on peak demand, but real savings come from optimizing time-of-use tariffs. A perfectly timed 500kWh battery beats a poorly managed 1MWh system.
Key is understanding you load pattern before buying a battery 🪫

Just tried lumera-energy.com at 35,000 feet over the Atlantic, and I’d say it passed the ‘flugzeugtest’ - airplane test ;)
