DateStageInvestorsRaisedDeal Summary
Jan 2026Series AEurazeo (lead); Rive Private Investment; Creandum; Norrsken VC; Picus Capital$133MTerralayr is a German developer, owner, and operator of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) with an integrated digital platform called LAYR that offers flexibility-as-a-service to market participants. The LAYR platform virtualizes battery assets and provides route-to-market solutions through tolling structures and flexibility auctions, enabling both terralayr's own assets and third-party BESS investors to optimize risk management and energy marketing. In January 2026, Eurazeo, through its Eurazeo Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF), led a €192 million equity financing round that included an €80 million upsizing option, alongside existing investors RIVE Private Investment, Creandum, Norrsken VC, Earlybird Venture Capital, and Picus Capital. The funding structure consisted of €112 million invested immediately with an additional €80 million contingent on project progress. This round was among the most significant transactions in the European battery storage sector in 2025-2026, marking Eurazeo's ninth and final transaction for its dedicated transition infrastructure fund. The capital will primarily support terralayr's grid-scale battery storage portfolio expansion across Germany while scaling the LAYR platform, which has already signed significant volumes of third-party assets and established strategic partnerships with entities such as Stadtwerke Duisburg and STEAG Iqony Group to fuel growth as a flexibility marketplace and route-to-market solution.
Oct 2024Undisclosed stageRive Private Investment (lead); Creandum; Norrsken VC; Picus Capital; Earlybird VC$68MTerralayr is a German company that develops, owns, operates, and aggregates battery energy storage systems (BESS), combining physical assets with its proprietary software platform LAYR for asset virtualization, tolling, flexibility auctions, and route-to-market optimization across ancillary services, wholesale markets, and virtual battery auctions. The platform enables 'flexibility as a service' for utilities, data centers, and third-party assets, addressing intermittency in renewable-heavy grids where over 50% of electricity comes from renewables. Founded in 2022, terralayr has secured development agreements for over 5 GW through in-house greenfield teams and partners, owns more than 150 MW operating or under-construction assets plus 200 MW ready-to-build (some with tolling from RWE and Vattenfall), and acquired its first asset trlyr1 in May 2023. In a major growth equity round totaling €192 million (~$223 million USD) including an €80 million upsizing option, primarily €112 million initial tranche closed around January 19, 2026, Eurazeo led via its Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF), with participation from existing investors RIVE Private Investment, Creandum, Earlybird Venture Capital, Norrsken VC, and Picus Capital. Earlier, RIVE Private Investment announced an investment on October 2, 2024, through its RIIF fund to accelerate terralayr's battery storage deployment in Germany, positioning alongside VCs from prior rounds. Proceeds fund expansion of grid-connected BESS portfolio and scaling of LAYR platform. Traction includes a €60 million senior secured debt financing closed for a 112 MW BESS portfolio (55 MW under seven-year capacity tolling with Vattenfall for stable revenues, 57 MW merchant optimized via LAYR), supported by EPC and O&M contracts from multiple providers. This demonstrates bankability of diversified portfolio structures in Germany with ABN AMRO and Commerzbank.
Sep 2023Undisclosed stage-$21MTerralayr is a developer, owner, and operator of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Germany, supported by its proprietary LAYR platform that virtualizes battery assets, enables tolling agreements, flexibility auctions, and route-to-market solutions for its own and third-party assets. The platform provides flexibility-as-a-service, allowing BESS owners and optimizers to rent or procure capacity under various durations and sizes, positioning Terralayr as a key player in grid stability and renewable energy integration. A larger equity financing of €192M (~$223M), including an €80M upsizing option and initial €112M commitment, closed in January 2026, led by Eurazeo through its Eurazeo Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF), with participation from RIVE Private Investment, Creandum, Norrsken, Earlybird Venture Capital, and Picus Capital. Funds are earmarked to accelerate build-out of BESS assets in Germany and scale the LAYR platform. In 2024, Terralayr raised an additional €77M (~$80M) mix of €62M equity and €15M debt from similar investors.
