Amsterdam, November 2023 

Spectral, a pioneer in the fusion of energy and information technology and an influential scale-up in the energy sector, is excited to announce a major milestone in its growth. Spectral has successfully secured an investment from ABN AMRO’s Sustainable Impact Fund (SIF). The fund invests in impact-driven companies that strive for both social and financial returns. The investment will mainly be used to scale up and professionalize the operation.

Impact through growth

Spectral’s mission is to use clean energy solutions and state-of-the-art IT infrastructure to accelerate the transition to a 100% renewable energy system. Spectral offers SaaS solutions: STELLAR integrates and optimizes renewable energy systems and BRIGHTER optimizes energy consumption in real estate. With this strategic investment from SIF, Spectral is able to accelerate its efforts in creating a sustainable and connected future and unlock an era of unprecedented growth and impact. Clairfield advised and supported Spectral in raising the financing.

“Our main goal for this financing round was to find an investor that aligns with Spectral’s mission and vision,” said Philip Gladek, founder and CEO of Spectral. “We enthusiastically look forward to a long-term partnership with ABN AMRO’s Sustainable Impact Fund – together we will accelerate the transformation of sustainable systems within the energy and real estate sectors both in the Netherlands and internationally.”

Nadine Weber, SIF investment manager, adds: “The increasing penetration of renewable energy and stricter regulations are forcing both owners of sustainable energy systems and property owners to look at smarter solutions when managing and optimizing their fleet. Spectral offers a unique portfolio of services for both sectors and offers a one-stop-shop solution for both data and dynamic asset management. We recognize the strong market potential for Spectral’s fully integrated platforms and high-quality software, and Spectral’s deep commitment to driving sustainable impact aligns well with SIF’s goals to accelerate the energy transition.” 

Impressive track record

Previously, Spectral has had a huge impact in the field of renewable energy. Milestones include the practical implementation of a solution for managing grid congestion at Schiphol Trade Park , becoming the Dutch market leader in energy storage management and successfully helping real estate investors such as Bouwinvest , Merin and NSI manage their ESG data and optimizing their portfolios.

As Spectral embarks on this exciting new chapter, the company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in energy and information technology. With the support of SIF, Spectral aims to create a more sustainable, connected and resilient world for future generations.
