London’s Metris Energy raises €4.35 million to scale AI platform for managing renewable energy assets
Metris Energy, a London-based AI‑native platform for managing energy assets at scale, has raised a €4.35 million ($5 million) Seed round and unveiled Metria AI, the company’s new AI interface that executes complex tasks previously performed manually by operations teams.
The round was led by PT1 Ventures, Octopus Ventures, AENU and Blackfinch Ventures, with participation from Plug and Play and Love Ventures. In January 2024, the company announced its €2.3 million pre-Seed funding round led by Octopus Ventures and Aenu VC. The new raise brings Metris’s total funding to date to €6.53 million ($7.5 million).
Natasha Jones, founder and CEO of Metris, commented, “Metris was founded on the core belief that the winners of the energy transition won’t be the owners of the most kW of capacity, but those who can view, control and monetise them best. There’s no unified layer that lets asset owners, or the AI agents now entering this space, actually see and act on their portfolio. That’s the gap we’re closing with Metris.”
Metris was founded in 2025 by ex-Octopus VC Jones and software engineer and serial startup founder William Whatley. According to his LinkedIn profile, Whatley exited the company in March 2025.
Metris started its journey by reconciling data scattered across inverters, meters, SCADA, CRMs, spreadsheets and finance tools into one clean, reliable record. It has since shifted its focus toward its broader ambition of becoming the unified data layer for the entire energy sector.
The company claims to be the AI-native operating system for renewable owners and operators. It helps renewable energy operators manage their portfolios more efficiently by bringing together asset performance, revenue, and operational data in one place.
The UK startup highlighted that although the global energy transactions total €4.35 trillion ($5 trillion) every year, most power producers still run their operations on spreadsheets. It notes that as the grid decentralises, new revenue streams are emerging, such as flexibility, curtailment management, community energy, and corporate PPAs, but the data needed to access, integrate and reconcile them is fragmented across dozens of disconnected systems.
Metris claims to offer asset owners a clean, real-time view of their entire portfolio, helping them make informed decisions about how and when to act. The company is building what it describes as the intelligent system of record for energy: a living, continuously updated profile of every physical asset, reconciling raw data from asset systems, metering, SCADA, GIS and energy markets into a single source of truth.
Metris further notes that on top of that record, it layers automated workflows, natural-language querying, a revenue hub, and AI agents.
Fabian Koening, Partner at PT1 Ventures, stated, “Natasha and the Metris Energy team are building the data infrastructure that makes energy assets visible in real-time, unlocking the opportunity for AI to transform the space. Their platform is already driving down the cost of operating asset portfolios at scale and opening market access to flexible energy contracts. Watching the team thrive over the past months only strengthened our conviction to back Metris Energy in this round.”
The company plans to use this capital to expand the product’s agentic capabilities and extend the platform’s reach into wind and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. Metris will also expand across Europe, with a particular focus on Germany where the company has already onboarded several new customers.
Metris reported 8x YoY revenue growth and currently manages over 10,000 solar plants and 500MW of capacity for some of the world’s largest power producers.
