Metris Raises $5 Million To Build AI Data Layer For Energy Assets

Metris Energy, an AI-native platform for managing energy assets at scale, has raised a $5 million Seed round to expand its technology across additional energy categories and European markets while building out its AI agent capabilities. The round was led by PT1 Ventures, Octopus Ventures, AENU, and Blackfinch Ventures, with participation from Plug and Play and Love Ventures. The financing brings Metris’ total funding to $7.5 million.

The London-based company announced the financing alongside the launch of Metria AI, a new natural-language interface designed to execute complex operational tasks that energy asset management teams have traditionally handled manually.

Metris was launched in 2025 after identifying a data problem affecting renewable energy operators: critical information was distributed across inverters, meters, SCADA systems, customer relationship management platforms, spreadsheets, finance systems, and other disconnected tools.

The company initially focused on reconciling that fragmented information for solar portfolios into a clean and reliable record. It is now expanding that approach into what it describes as a unified data layer for the broader energy sector.

The opportunity reflects the increasing complexity of energy asset management.

Metris said approximately $5 trillion in global energy transactions take place annually, while many power producers continue relying heavily on spreadsheets to manage operations.

At the same time, an increasingly decentralized power grid is creating new potential revenue streams through flexibility services, curtailment management, community energy programs, and corporate power purchase agreements.

Accessing those opportunities can require operators to reconcile information spread across numerous systems, making reliable and standardized data increasingly important.

Metris is building what it calls an intelligent system of record for energy.

The platform creates a continuously updated profile of individual physical assets by reconciling raw information from asset systems, metering infrastructure, SCADA, geographic information systems, and energy markets.

That unified record can then support automated workflows, natural-language queries, revenue management, and AI agents designed to take actions across energy portfolios.

Metris believes reliable underlying data is particularly important for agentic AI because autonomous software needs sufficiently complete information to understand asset conditions and execute operational workflows consistently.

The company’s platform is already managing more than 10,000 solar plants representing approximately 500 MW of capacity for power producers.

Metris also reported 8x year-over-year revenue growth, providing the company with early commercial traction as it expands beyond its original solar-focused market.

The new financing will support further development of Metris’ agentic AI capabilities, including technology designed to execute tasks using the operational and financial information contained within its unified data layer.

Metris also plans to extend its platform beyond solar into wind power and Combined Heat and Power systems.

Geographic expansion is another priority.

The company plans to grow across Europe, with a particular focus on Germany, where Metris has already begun onboarding additional customers.

By expanding into multiple energy technologies and markets, Metris is seeking to create an infrastructure layer capable of supporting increasingly diverse portfolios rather than requiring asset owners to operate separate tools for each technology.

The company’s thesis is that the energy transition will increasingly depend not only on how much generation capacity a company owns but also on how effectively that capacity can be monitored, controlled, optimized, and monetized.

Metria AI represents the next stage of that strategy by placing a conversational and agentic interface on top of the underlying data.

Rather than requiring operations teams to manually locate and reconcile information across individual systems, users can potentially query portfolio information in natural language and automate workflows from the same underlying record.

Metris describes itself as the UK’s fastest-growing asset management solution for renewables, with its platform combining monitoring, billing automation, performance data, revenue information, and operational information within a unified environment.

The $5 million financing will give the company additional resources to expand that platform as renewable portfolios grow larger and operators seek to incorporate AI into increasingly complex energy management processes.

KEY QUOTES:

“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.”

Natasha Jones, Founder And CEO Of Metris

“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.”
