The company is expanding its presence across Europe, including Poland and Turkey, while identifying Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as a key growth region as renewable portfolios become more complex.
Delfos Energy, an AI company developing “virtual engineer” technology for the energy sector, now supports more than 1,000 energy sites across Europe. The company has also announced the close of a €3 million seed extension round, bringing total funding to €10 million.

The round includes new investment from Vox Capital/COPEL, alongside existing investors Headline, Contrarian Ventures, DOMO VC and EDP Ventures. The funding will support Delfos Energy’s expansion across Europe ahead of a planned Series A round in the next 12–18 months.
Key market Poland
Delfos Energy is currently active in Portugal, Spain, France, Poland, the UK and Turkey, with Poland and Turkey representing key markets in Central and Eastern Europe. The company is focusing on scaling operations in Turkey while continuing to expand its footprint across the region.
Europe accounts for 35–40 percent of Delfos Energy’s global revenues. Existing European customers are expected to deliver four to five times revenue growth as deployments expand across multi-site operators.
Tomáš Bílek of Fenecon: “CEE markets require flexibility and local adaptation”
The platform acts as a continuously operating virtual engineer, ingesting real-time data, detecting anomalies and early-stage failures, and translating signals into prioritised, actionable recommendations. It is designed to support engineering, operations and executive teams in managing asset performance and reliability.
Focus on actionable recommendations, not alerts
Unlike conventional monitoring tools, the system provides contextual analysis and recommended actions rather than dashboards and alerts. Natural-language interfaces allow users to query data in plain language, supporting use across organisations.
Joshua Murphy: “Germany offers battery revenues, but CEE is building the pipeline”
The platform is built as a two-layer AI system. The first layer uses a proprietary machine-learning engine to analyse performance and reliability in real time, while the second automates engineering workflows such as reporting, maintenance planning and operational decisions. These workflows may be extended into agents capable of executing defined engineering tasks.
AI addresses the skills gap in energy operations
Delfos Energy identifies the growing skills gap in Europe as a driver of adoption, particularly in CEE markets where renewable portfolios are expanding. As experienced engineers retire and system complexity increases, the company presents its technology as a way to preserve institutional knowledge and standardise operational practices.
Energy storage is a central component of this development. Delfos Energy integrates wind, solar, hydro and battery energy storage systems (BESS) within a single operational layer, supporting operators managing multi-technology portfolios. The company also highlights the need for technical guidance and collaboration, particularly in markets where battery deployment and integration remain at an early stage.
Serbia – new market rules support solar expansion
The seed extension funding will be used to further develop the AI platform and expand deployments across key energy transition markets, including storage. The company’s global headquarters in Barcelona serves as a hub for AI and software engineering, supporting its European expansion. Following further scale-up in Europe, particularly in CEE, Delfos Energy plans to enter the United States. (mg)
