Balantia

Established in 2011, Balantia is a specialized energy services company focused on enhancing energy efficiency and advancing sustainability for its clients. In a significant milestone, Iberdrola, which had initially invested in the firm in 2019 through its PERSEO startup program, acquired the remaining 80% of the company in July 2024, making Balantia a wholly-owned subsidiary. This acquisition followed a period of collaboration where Iberdrola utilized Balantia's technological capabilities to provide energy diagnostics to over 180,000 homes and companies. The company was also recognized as one of the top 15 SMEs in the 2023 SME of the Year Award by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce.

Balantia operates in the CleanTech and B2B consulting services sector, providing end-to-end solutions for companies aiming to decarbonize and reduce costs. Its client base is broad, encompassing both small and large companies with decarbonization needs. The company's business model is centered on providing a comprehensive suite of services that includes strategic consulting, project implementation, and ongoing management. Revenue is generated through these services, which range from energy audits and regulatory compliance to the design and execution of energy refurbishment projects.

The core of Balantia's offering is the Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Manager platform, launched in partnership with Iberdrola. This digital tool enables companies to manage their energy consumption and CO2 emissions effectively. Key features of the NZE Manager include calculating a company's carbon footprint, developing customized decarbonization plans with targets for 2030 to 2050, identifying high-impact reduction actions, and monitoring progress. Beyond the platform, Balantia provides hands-on support through a multidisciplinary team that assists with technical due diligence, subsidy management, and the implementation of renewable energy installations like photovoltaics. The company also facilitates the trading of Energy Saving Certificates (CAE), purchasing savings generated from its clients' efficiency projects.
