⚡ The renewable revolution is gridlocked—but not for long. Germany is aiming for 80% renewables by 2030 and 100% by 2035. But when the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow, the grid struggles to keep up. It’s a bottleneck that slows down the energy transition, just when we need it to accelerate. The solution? Millions of homes waiting to be unlocked. SpotmyEnergy holds the key. 🔑 Our latest portfolio company equips local installers with an all-in-one solution that turns our homes into virtual batteries, cutting grid energy use by up to 50%. The renewable revolution starts at home—let’s turn the key and get moving. 🌍 Welcome to the Norrsken VC family, Jochen Schwill and the rest of SpotmyEnergy! 🔗 Silicon Canals: https://lnkd.in/grtrf5yq  🔗 Norrsken VC blog: https://lnkd.in/dARsN8vr Picus Capital Vorwerk Ventures #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #ClimateTech #ImpactInvesting

Greener buildings, bigger profits. Predium makes it happen. 🌿💸 Here’s the scoop: Nearly 40% of CO2 emissions come from real estate. That’s a HUGE chunk. That’s why real estate owners have to decarbonise. Those who do? Their property values can jump by up to a third. Those who don’t? They face drops of up to 40%. The catch? Decarbonising is often expensive and slow, leaving many buildings stuck in the past. But our latest portfolio company is here to change that. 🚀 Predium’s intelligence platform for real estate identifies the fastest, smartest, and most cost-effective ways to decarbonise buildings—boosting property value, slashing emissions, and proving that sustainability isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good business. 💰 We’re excited to welcome Jens Thumm, Maximilian Körner, Mohamed Ali Razouane and the rest of Predium to the Norrsken VC family! 🎉 🔗 Tech Funding News https://lnkd.in/eu3sWxef 🔗 Norrsken VC blog: https://lnkd.in/dnkUnbzM
