Aegir Insights – a leading provider of decision-making software, data, and intelligence for the offshore wind sector – announced it had raised €8.5 million in Series A funding, led by Seaya Andromeda, with the participation of Climentum Capital. The company will use the funding to develop the next generation of its web platform, encompassing decision software, data, and intelligence products for the offshore wind industry.
Aegir Insights’ solutions play a significant role in making data-driven decisions, optimizing development, and reducing costs, thereby accelerating investment in the sector. And this is critical in the current environment of cost volatility to ensure optimal capital allocation and project economics. Aegir Insights’ existing client base includes leading developers like BP, Equinor, and JERA, and it is expanding further into governmental and financial services segments.
The €8.5 million Series A funding round will support the development of Aegir Insights’ software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, data, and intelligence offerings. And the company’s technology roadmap includes solutions for simulating price-competitive auctions, streamlined project and portfolio analysis, and broadening functionality to evaluate hybrid assets and system integration. This funding round will also enable Aegir Insights to expand its expert client support, serving as a trusted independent advisor.
Aegir Insights was launched in 2020 by CEO Scott Urquhart and CCO Rikke Nørgaard, who, between them, have almost 35 years of energy industry experience working for major renewable energy players, including Ørsted and Vattenfall.
