Abundry acquires Ertzy, adding storage to its energy intelligence layer

Abundry

Abundry, the intelligence company for energy abundance, has acquired Ertzy and its energy storage platform. The deal gives Abundry the physical layer it needs to act on the grid — turning a system that understands energy into one that can also move it. This marks the first in a series of strategic moves designed to accelerate Abundry's mission: to unlock abundant energy, from a single site to entire regions.

Abundry launched last week in Ygne, Gotland, on a simple thesis: the next era of energy will not be defined by how much we build, but by how intelligently we run what already exists. More electricity and more infrastructure are not the answer. Better decisions are. Storage is one critical piece of that, but only one.

Europe's grid was built to push power in one direction, to passive consumers. Building a truly smart grid, one that communicates both ways and balances itself in real time, requires breaking a fundamental constraint: what gets produced still has to be used the moment it's produced. Until that link is broken, intelligence can advise the system but cannot move it.

That is what Ertzy changes. Its storage turns stored energy into an active market participant — energy that can be held, shifted, and released when it creates the most value. With it, what is produced no longer has to be consumed immediately. Production and demand are decoupled, and the grid can finally run both ways. As a pioneer in sodium-based battery technology — among the first to deploy it at commercial scale in Europe — Ertzy brings not just storage capacity but a critical infrastructure capability that is increasingly central to energy security and grid resilience.

"Abundry was built to help industries and cities unlock abundant energy from the systems they already have," said Anders Åhlén, CEO and co-founder of Abundry. "Intelligence is only part of it. Storage is what lets that intelligence reach the physical world — capacity you can shift in time instead of steel you pour into the ground. With Ertzy, we have both halves under one roof."

The acquisition is about speed as much as capability. Ertzy lets Abundry deliver for customers faster, and at greater scale, than building alone would allow. But it signals something broader. Abundry's strategy isn't only to build category-leading technology in-house — it's to bring exceptional companies into the ecosystem when their capabilities accelerate the mission. The greatest value comes when intelligence and physical infrastructure run as one system.

Neither side is betting on a single energy source. The goal was never a particular kind of power — it is energy that flows freely, where and when it's needed. Human development has always tracked our access to abundant energy, and that access shapes everything from the individual to society as a whole.

“Storage is only as smart as the system controlling it. We spent years developing that system; hardware and software that optimize decisions continuously and are compatible with alternative chemistries. Joining Abundry means that same system intelligence can start coordinating across assets at regional scale, instead of asset by asset"

said Philip Berlin, COO at Ertzy.

Abundry is building the intelligence layer for the entire energy system — and this acquisition is a step in that direction. The mission is larger than any single technology or market. What Ertzy unlocks today, Abundry will build on tomorrow.

About Abundry

Abundry was founded by Einride founder Robert Falck and Filip Lilja, together with Anders Åhlen and Robert Westerdahl to build the intelligence layer for energy, combining digital twins, AI, optimisation, and energy-system data to help energy companies, cities, industrial players, and infrastructure investors understand, design, finance, and secure the energy systems of the future — from a single asset to the entire grid.

About Ertzy

Ertzy is the active energy storage that turns energy into power — hardware-agnostic capacity that stabilises the grid, shaves peaks, and earns across every market, at any scale. A pioneer in sodium-based battery technology, Ertzy was founded in 2023 by Filip Lilja, Martin de la Vega, and Martin Söderlind.

THE Intelligent grid platform

THE ENERGY TRANSITION IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME. INDUSTRIES AND CITIES DON'T NEED ANOTHER HARDWARE VENDOR OR SOFTWARE TOOL—THEY NEED A PARTNER THAT NAVIGATES BOTH THE TECHNICAL COMPLEXITY AND THE COMMERCIAL REALITY. A SYSTEM THAT WORKS AS one. THAT is abundry.
