London’s Metris Energy Raises €4.35M to Scale AI Platform for Managing Renewable Energy Assets

Metris Energy

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 designed to execute complex tasks previously performed manually by operations teams.

The Round

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 had announced a €2.3 million pre-Seed 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, explained the thesis behind the company: “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.”

Fabian Koenig, Partner at PT1 Ventures, added: “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 Team

Metris was founded in 2025 by ex-Octopus VC Natasha Jones and software engineer and serial startup founder William Whatley. According to his LinkedIn profile, Whatley exited the company in March 2025.

The Problem

The company points out that although global energy transactions total €4.35 trillion ($5 trillion) every year, most power producers still run their operations on spreadsheets. As the grid decentralises, new revenue streams are emerging — flexibility, curtailment management, community energy, and corporate PPAs — but the data needed to access, integrate, and reconcile them remains fragmented across dozens of disconnected systems.

The Product

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 focus toward its broader ambition of becoming the unified data layer for the entire energy sector.

The company describes itself as the AI-native operating system for renewable owners and operators, helping them manage portfolios more efficiently by bringing together asset performance, revenue, and operational data in one place. Metris says it’s building what it calls 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. On top of that record, the company layers automated workflows, natural-language querying, a revenue hub, and AI agents.

What’s Next

Metris plans to use the new capital to expand the product’s agentic capabilities and extend the platform’s reach into wind and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. The company will also expand across Europe, with a particular focus on Germany, where it has already onboarded several new customers.

Metris reports 8x year-over-year revenue growth and currently manages over 10,000 solar plants and 500MW of capacity for some of the world’s largest power producers.
