Lead Energy Market

Build energy-market function from scratch (licensing, wholesale sourcing, grid settlement,…) for the first energy provider structurally rewarded for cutting client consumption.

About Newable

The new demand on commercial real estate is to consume less energy. Regulation is tightening. Occupiers are demanding it. Asset values depend on it. Yet most players in the value chain, from energy suppliers to facility managers, are not structurally incentivized to help buildings get there.

Newable was built to fix this. We are the energy provider that earns more when buildings consume less, by combining AI-driven control of building systems with a supply model that turns efficiency into a shared interest between us and our clients.

Backed by Revent - a leading impact VC based in Berlin - and Leonard - the innovation platform of the Vinci Group -, we raised 4 million euros to accelerate our development across France and later Europe. Our clients are commercial real estate owners and occupiers, and our ambition is to become the reference energy partner for commercial real estate across Europe.

We are at an early and decisive moment: the product works, the first clients are signed, and we are now building the team that will take Newable to the next level. If you want to build something that genuinely matters, in a company where your fingerprints will be on everything, read on.

2.Wholesale energy procurement:

• Define and execute the energy sourcing strategy (forward, spot, PPAs)
• Manage exposure and hedging in line with our risk appetite
