Voltalis is a leading European company specializing in automated Demand Response. The company's mission is to leverage technology to promote energy efficiency and address the critical challenges of climate change, purchasing power, and electricity supply security.
During peak national consumption or fluctuations in renewable energy production, Voltalis employs its advanced technology to optimize the energy usage of electrical appliances. As a result, the company contributes to reducing energy consumption, easing the strain on the power grid, and minimizing the reliance on polluting thermal power stations to manage supply-demand imbalances.
One of the company's notable initiatives involves integrating this technology into next-generation connected thermostats, targeting the significant energy usage and CO2 emissions associated with heating. To fund these efforts, Voltalis receives compensation from the electricity transmission network for its services and provides the associated devices to consumers free of charge.
With support from its majority shareholder, Meridiam, an investment B Corp and asset manager, Voltalis is accelerating its operations. The company's strategic priorities include equipping 3 million French individuals with its connected thermostats by 2030, addressing end-use electrification such as electric vehicle charging, energy storage, and self-consumption, and expanding its presence internationally.
Voltalis is headquartered in France and was founded in 2006. Its latest funding round, a €91.00M Private Equity Round, was secured on 06 March 2023 and involved prominent investors including CIC Private Debt, La Banque Postale Asset Management, and Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity.
