Investors
Polar Night Energy is owned by its founders along with a diverse group of investment companies and private investors.
Investment Outlook
We are currently focusing on team expansion, scaling our sales operations, commissioning storage projects, and developing Power-to-Heat-to-Power (P2H2P) technology. As a result, we are not actively seeking new funding at this time.
However, we are preparing for an A-round to support our upcoming significant upscaling, both in terms of storage capacity and global market reach. Our future P2H2P capabilities will create opportunities for large-scale impact on greener electricity and heat. We anticipate launching the A-round by early 2026.
Invest in a Sustainable Future
Innovative energy storage solutions
Founded in 2018, Polar Night Energy is a pioneer in high-temperature thermal energy storage, known for our cutting-edge Sand Batteries. As the global demand for large-scale energy storage surges, driven by the rise of intermittent renewables like wind and solar, our technology is uniquely positioned to meet this need.
Our vision and achievements
We aim to decarbonize energy production and become the global leader in thermal energy storage. Our Sand Battery, which has already been implemented in commercial installations, is designed to store vast amounts of intermittent energy and return it as high-temperature heat. Our next goal is to expand into electricity production.
