Europe’s energy transition is accelerating at record pace, yet the digital backbone required to support it has struggled to keep up. Across the continent, renewable energy markets still rely on fragmented registries, manual paperwork and outdated processes. Into this gap steps Soldera, a rapidly scaling energy tech company that has built what it calls the Stripe for Renewable Energy, unifying Europe’s certificate landscape into a single intelligent system.
Transforming Guarantees of Origin into Programmable Assets
Soldera’s platform automates the management and trading of Guarantees of Origin, the certificates that verify and monetise renewable electricity production. Traditionally, handling these certificates has required heavy administrative work, with producers juggling registries, audits and manual reporting.
The company’s AI powered infrastructure removes this burden entirely by connecting and standardising more than thirty national registries into one interface. This creates a unified market and compliance flow used by global asset managers, Fortune 500 firms and thousands of renewable power producers.
The platform also unlocks new financial capabilities for producers, including automated spot sales and forward hedging tools that boost revenue and increase market transparency.
A Year of Rapid Growth and New Funding
Since raising two point five million euro last April, Soldera has expanded at extraordinary speed. In 2025, the company achieved ten times revenue growth, climbing from one hundred fifty thousand euro to one million euro as adoption surged across European markets.
The company has now secured an additional one point six million euro in non dilutive funding through the EAS Applied Research Grant. This capital will allow Soldera to scale its AI infrastructure and accelerate development of its virtual registry layer.
CEO Stenver Jerkku describes the past year as an intense period of growth driven by consistent month on month expansion and the platform’s ability to onboard thousands of power plants and hundreds of corporate clients.
Building a Meta Layer Across Europe’s Fragmented Energy Systems
While Soldera originally built its platform for renewable energy producers, an unexpected wave of interest from multinational corporations revealed a deeper market need. Many of these companies operate across ten, twenty or more European countries, each with its own registry, documentation rules and audit requirements.
Corporate sustainability teams often resort to spreadsheets, manual reconciliation and costly intermediaries just to maintain compliance.
Soldera realised it could become a unifying layer across all these systems. Roughly half of Europe’s registries have modern APIs. The rest rely on outdated methods such as faxed forms, PDFs, manually updated spreadsheets or systems managed by a single civil servant.
Soldera uses AI to integrate with all of them, whether through APIs, automated document parsing or reconciliation workflows. Everything is normalised into a single interface that automates the full lifecycle of Guarantees of Origin including issuance, transfer, cancellation and audit reporting.
The result is significant automation gains. Corporate compliance costs drop by up to forty per cent. Producers see revenue increase by up to fifteen per cent while administrative work drops by as much as ninety five per cent.
Regulation Outweighs ESG Politics
Despite political shifts in the United States and changing public narratives around ESG, Soldera has not seen a decline in corporate demand. Jerkku notes that sustainability teams are guided primarily by regulations such as CSRD and Scope 2 and 3 reporting along with investor and supply chain pressure.
While some companies have become quieter about their climate commitments, certificate cancellations and renewable claims continue to grow each year.
Scaling Toward Global Infrastructure
Moving forward, Soldera plans to scale its corporate platform to match the success of its producer offering and expand its virtual registry model globally. The company is also committed to operating as a lean AI native organisation, aiming to build a European infrastructure scale company with fewer than thirty employees operating at high leverage through automation.
With Europe’s renewable energy markets poised for continued expansion, Soldera is positioning itself as the digital backbone powering the next stage of the continent’s energy transition.
