After its €2.5m raise last year, Soldera accelerated Fortune 500 adoption, 10x revenue growth, and infrastructure-scale expansion across Europe’s certificate markets
As Europe’s energy transition accelerates, the financial infrastructure underpinning it remains stuck in the analogue era, with fragmented registries, manual processes, and opaque markets slowing capital flows into renewables and limiting price discovery, liquidity, and scale.
In response, Soldera has successfully built the “Stripe for Renewable Energy,” unifying Europe’s 30+ certificate registries into a single interface and MCP. The tech is used by Fortune 500 companies and global asset managers to access more than 4,000 power plants.
Turning Guarantees of Origin into programmable financial assets
Simply put, Soldera has developed an AI-powered platform that automates the management and trading of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in the renewable energy sector. GOs are certificates that verify and monetise renewable electricity production, and traditionally, managing these certificates involves significant administrative work.
Soldera’s service automates this entire process significantly reducing the administrative burden for renewable energy producers.
The platform also offers features such as spot sales and forward hedging strategies to help producers maximise revenue from their GOs.
Since Soldera raised €2.5 million last April, the company has gone from strength to strength.
I spoke to Stenver Jerkku, Soldera’s CEO, to understand what has driven this momentum.
Scaling fast: growth, funding, and market traction
Overall, 2025 was a bumper year for the company, which achieved 10x revenue growth, scaling from €150k to €1 million. It has just secured €1.6 million in non-dilutive funding through the EAS Applied Research Grant to double down on its AI infrastructure.
According to Jerkku, “It’s been an absolutely wild ride. We’ve had around 30 per cent month-on-month growth, consistently, and we’re now working with roughly 4,000 power plants and more than 500 corporate customers.”
Creating a meta-layer across Europe’s fragmented registries
The company has also gained a new market, with Jerrku explaining:
“What really surprised us was inbound interest from large multinationals — including Fortune 500 companies — at a point when our product was still positioned mainly for renewable energy producers.
That forced us to step back and ask: why are global corporates coming to a platform originally built for power producers?”
The team discovered that the problem that it solved for producers is even more painful on the corporate side. A multinational seeking to source and report renewable electricity across 10, 20, or 40 countries faces completely different registries, rules, and audit requirements in each market. The alternative is to hire large internal teams or rely on brokers and traders, which is costly, opaque, and inefficient.
“So we realised we could become a unifying layer — a kind of “meta-infrastructure” on top of national energy attribute certificate registries — and offer turnkey compliance automation for both producers and corporates, ” explained Jerkku.
“Roughly half of European registries have APIs. The rest still run on fax machines, spreadsheets, PDFs — and in some countries, manually updated Excel files maintained by a single civil servant.”
Soldera uses AI to integrate with all of them, whether through APIs, document parsing, or automated reconciliation, and normalises everything into a single platform. This enables direct connections between power producers and corporate buyers and automates the full lifecycle of energy attribute certificates — issuance, transfer, cancellation, audit trails, and reporting.
“For corporates, that cuts back-office compliance costs by 25–40 per cent,” shared Jerkku.
“For producers, it boosts revenues by 10–15 per cent by removing layers of intermediaries, and reduces administrative overhead by up to 95 per cent, because the process becomes essentially passive.”
In practice, this means a corporate sustainability team no longer has to understand how the Polish, Spanish, German, and Nordic systems all differ — they just see one interface, one compliance flow, one audit-ready dataset.
“Our long-term goal is that EAC management becomes something nobody has to think about anymore. It should be as invisible as cloud billing,” shared Jerkku.
ESG politics versus regulatory reality
The market Soldera operates in sits at the intersection of energy policy and financial regulation, and I was curious whether geopolitics, with shifting political narratives around ESG — particularly in parts of the US — was reducing corporate demand.
Jerkku admits he was worried at first, especially with the backlash against ESG in parts of the US:
“But once you talk to corporate sustainability teams, you realise how structural this is.
They’re driven by regulations like CSRD, Scope 2 and Scope 3 reporting, supply-chain pressure, and investor disclosure requirements — not political fashion.”
The company sees a rise in “greenhushing”, where companies do the work but talk about it less publicly. Yet according to Jerkku, “the actual volume of certificate cancellations and renewable claims is still rising year on year.”
Building infrastructure-scale ambition with an AI-native team
From here, Soldera plans to scale its corporate product to the same level as its producer platform and build out a visible global enterprise customer base. It’s also working to turn the virtual registry layer into a truly global system with end-to-end compliance across all major markets.
And third, continuing to operate as an AI-native organisation.
“Our ambition is to build a European infrastructure-scale company — potentially a unicorn — with fewer than 30 people, each operating at 10x leverage through automation”, shared Jerkku.
