Nuventura secures €25 million in Series A financing

Nuventura receives €25 million in Series A financing for SF6-free switchgear. The company is thus expanding sustainable technology for the energy industry.

Berlin - Berlin-based Nuventura, which specializes in gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear (GIS) without the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), has successfully closed a €25 million Series A investment round. Mirova, a subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers focused on sustainable investments, led this round. Existing investors such as IBB Ventures, ADB Ventures, Cycle Group, Future Energy Ventures and DOEN Participaties also participated, along with Forward.one and EIC Fund. In total, Nuventura's capital raising amounts to more than €35 million.

The increasing awareness of the environmental impact of SF6 and related regulations show that our environmentally friendly technology meets the current requirements.

The funding from this investment round will be used to expand Nuventura's product portfolio and global production capacity. Nuventura's primary goal is to help the energy industry transition to environmentally friendly technologies without the use of SF6, an extremely harmful greenhouse gas that is 25,200 times more potent than CO2.

Nuventura's patented nu1 gas-insulated switchgear instead uses climate-friendly dry air insulation and offers similar benefits to SF6-based GIS, including additional safety and asset protection features. This technology is gaining momentum as awareness of the negative environmental impact of SF6 grows and regulators take action to reduce its use.

Given the efforts to reduce the use of SF6, we are pleased to support the Nuventura team as it expands internationally and contributes to the decarbonization of the energy industry.

Anne Boulet, Investment Manager Mirova

Nuventura specializes in environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear used in power grids and energy infrastructure. Their technology replaces SF6 with dry air, helping to reduce the use of SF6 in switchgear while ensuring compliance with international regulations.
