New Investor Boosts Energy Tech Company

Volue, a company that makes software for power systems, has added TA Associates to its group of investors. The move comes after Volue sharpened its focus on energy over the last year and a half, selling off parts that were not core to its mission. The firm now concentrates on tools for power trading, grid management and market intelligence. It uses artificial‑intelligence to help utilities and traders handle growing complexity, speed of change and new rules. TA Associates says it believes strongly in Volue’s plan and long‑term growth. Together with the existing investors Advent, Generation Investment Management and Arendals Fossekompani, TA will bring extra money and experience to help the company grow faster.Stephan Sieber has been Volue’s chief executive since the start of this year. He says the company is entering a “next phase” of rapid expansion, and he welcomes TA’s partnership. The company sees electrification as a core part of future economic resilience and sustainability, especially because global energy demand is rising. Volue’s platform covers the whole life cycle of energy: from data collection and forecasting to trading, asset optimisation and grid control. It serves more than 2, 500 customers in over 40 countries with a staff of about 750 people. With the new investment, Volue plans to speed up innovation, expand into new markets and pursue strategic acquisitions. The goal is to become a leading intelligence layer for the energy market, helping participants make better decisions in a rapidly changing world.
