Bnewable Launches in Germany with Storage Solutions for the Industrial Energy Transition

Oldenburg, Germany / Brussels, Belgium – The industrial energy transition presents new challenges for companies – while also creating economic opportunities. The Belgian energy scale-up Bnewable is focusing on intelligent storage solutions and digital energy management. The company is now also launching in Germany, with a clear focus on further growth and sustainable solutions.

With intelligent battery storage and digital energy management, the Belgian energy scale-up Bnewable aims to drive the industrial energy transition in Germany. The company is now starting its operations in Germany and offers a tailor-made solution for industry and trade. In doing so, Bnewable GmbH focuses on flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability.

Energy Transition in Industry: Bnewable Launches in Germany with an Experienced Team From May 2025, Bnewable will also be active in Germany through Bnewable GmbH. The company's goal is to advance the industrial energy transition in Germany with intelligent energy management and innovative battery storage solutions. The newly founded company is jointly led by Fabian Knoch and Max Kronberg, two experienced energy experts who previously played a key role in transforming the industry at be.storaged GmbH (EWE AG). With Bnewable GmbH, Knoch and Kronberg aim to support companies with practical storage solutions to reduce energy costs, cut CO₂ emissions, and open up new revenue streams.

"Many companies are under pressure to make their energy supply more sustainable, cheaper and more flexible - but there is a lack of practical, economical solutions," explains Knoch. Together with the Belgian parent company, Knoch and Kronberg want to bring a proven concept to Germany that enables companies to access cutting-edge storage technology without any investment risk.

No Investment Risk: Intelligent Storage Solutions for Industry and Commerce

The core of Bnewable's offering is an integrated system of high-performance battery storage, the digital control platform Voltana, and an innovative financing model. This allows companies to not only use renewable energy efficiently but also strategically reduce costs, avoid grid fees, and generate additional revenue from the electricity market and grid services – without any investment risk.

"We combine technological excellence with a sound understanding of the market. Our aim is to establish a new level of energy flexibility in the industry - economically attractive, technically reliable and sustainable," says Kronberg about Bnewable's approach.

Germany as Bnewable's First Step in International Expansion

With its new location in Oldenburg, Bnewable is continuing its expansion. After successfully entering the Belgian market and securing a funding round of 40 million euros at the end of 2024, Germany is now the first international target. The company cites the parallels between the Belgian and German energy markets as the main reasons: a strong industrial base, high electricity price pressure, and a growing need for decentralized flexibility solutions.

From Bnewable's perspective, Germany is a key market for the energy transition in Europe. "Our solutions deliver exactly what the industry needs right now: stability, planning security and independence from the electricity market.We are delighted to have Fabian and Max on board, two like-minded people who understand the German market and whose experience and vision are a perfect fit for us," says Kristof Vereenooghe, co-founder of Bnewable.

Bnewable Germany is launching with an office in Oldenburg and a six-person team of experts in algorithmic energy trading, project development, and research. By the end of 2025, the German team is expected to be expanded to meet the growing demand.
