ALVA Energie receives 5.2 million euros
The Berlin-based start-up ALVA Energie, founded in 2024, has successfully completed its first financing round and raised around 5.2 million euros. The capital comes from institutional investors and experienced business angels. The company intends to use the fresh capital to further scale its integrated energy solutions, particularly in the area of tenant electricity for residential and commercial properties.
Broad investor consortium from energy, real estate and venture capital
The financing round was led by Württembergische Energie GmbH, Brandenburg Kapital, the investment company of Investitionsbank des Landes Brandenburg, and the European Social Innovation and Impact Fund (ESIIF), among others. The round was supplemented by several business angels from the better ventures network, who contribute expertise from the energy, real estate and finance sectors.
Holistic approach for decentralized energy solutions
ALVA offers property owners and tenants complete solutions from planning and implementation to ongoing operation in the area of tenant electricity. The company relies on a vertically integrated business model that covers all key steps in-house. More than 50 projects have been realized to date. The aim is to double this number by the end of 2025 and save around 6,000 tons of CO₂ emissions at the same time.
We have quickly grown profitably under our own steam and have been able to demonstrate how effectively decentralized energy solutions can be implemented in existing buildings.
Cecil von Croy, Co-Founder and CEO ALVA Energie
Tenant electricity as the key to the energy transition
Brandenburg Kapital sees great potential in ALVA:"The tenant electricity segment in particular is an important lever for a decentralized energy supply in cities," says Investment Manager Binh Vu."The team has created a solid foundation in a short space of time and impresses with its technical expertise and implementation power."
The energy transition will be decided in existing buildings. ALVA shows how scalable solutions can be combined with social impact and economic viability.
Tina Dreimann, co-founder and Managing Director of better ventures
With growing regulatory pressure to decarbonize the building sector and the desire of many tenants for sustainable solutions, ALVA has its finger on the pulse of the times. The company is positioning itself as a link between the real estate industry, energy generation and modern infrastructure. This is a market that is likely to become increasingly important in the coming years. The financing round that has now been concluded lays the foundation for rolling out tenant electricity projects nationwide and further increasing the potential of decentralized energy concepts.
