Industrial Edge AI, deployed where clean energy is produced.
Compute, energy, data and secure industrial deployment. We sit at the intersection of two of Europe's strongest assets — abundant renewable energy and trusted industrial AI — and turn that overlap into a business.
Capture-price decline and rising hours of negative prices are eroding merchant revenue. Grid congestion brings connection queues of 5–10+ years and rising curtailment, while subsidies phase out — pushing merchant and balancing risk centre-stage.
A capital and compute gap versus the US and China (Stanford AI Index, 2026), with dependence on non-EU GPUs, cloud and data centres at record cost. AI Act compliance adds complexity — and fuels demand for sovereign, trusted AI.
Renewable plants increasingly produce low-cost — sometimes negatively priced — electricity the grid cannot absorb. AI needs exactly that: abundant, cheap, local, sovereign energy for compute.
Modular AI compute installed directly at solar, wind and hybrid sites.
Runs on local renewable generation and storage, soaking up otherwise-curtailed energy.
Smaller, specialised, inference-optimised models — the most useful model, not the biggest.
Sensitive industrial data processed at the edge, compliant with EU rules by design.
PV / wind + storage produce low-cost, clean power.
On-site Edge AI nodes run inference next to the source.
Secure, low-latency AI for factories, grids, hospitals and critical infrastructure.
A cloud-to-edge layer manages models, data and capacity across sites.
Renewables target for final energy consumption by 2030 (Fit for 55 / RePowerEU), with 45% ambition.
EU fund to build AI factories with 100,000+ advanced AI processors.
AI Act fully in force — driving demand for compliant, sovereign AI across the EU.
Strategic sectors targeted by the European "Apply AI" strategy.

Data centres, hard-to-abate industry and ESG-driven buyers want long-term green power.
Manufacturing, energy, health, logistics, agrifood and climate tech all need local AI.
A large, underserved market favouring simple, localised, "buy European" solutions.
Storage, capacity markets and ancillary services open multi-stream revenue.
Inference and AI capacity sold to industrial and AI customers.
Long-term PPAs and clean-energy offtake at competitive prices.
Capacity-market participation and ancillary services from storage.
Managed, sector-specific models and integration services.
Energy + compute under one roof — a cost and reliability edge rivals can't easily copy.
Compliant, EU-hosted and secure by default for regulated industries.
Small, specialised models deliver better economics per inference.
Early positions on sites, grid connections and anchor customers.
