Metris secures $5M to build a unified data layer for energy assets

Metris raised $5 million to unify messy energy asset data. It’s betting the real win in energy is control, not just owning more capacity.

Metris Energy has closed a $5 million seed round and, with it, sharpened its pitch: build the common data layer the energy sector never quite managed to build itself. The round was led by PT1 Ventures, Octopus Ventures, AENU and Blackfinch Ventures, with Plug and Play and Love Ventures also in the mix. Total funding now stands at $7.5 million.
The company launched in 2025 and started with a narrow problem: solar portfolio operators trying to reconcile information scattered across inverters, meters, SCADA systems, CRMs, spreadsheets and finance tools. That mess is now the broader thesis. Metris wants to sit across the fragmented systems power producers use to run assets, then turn all that scattered information into a single, continuously updated record.
The platform pulls in data from asset systems, metering, SCADA, GIS and energy markets. That gives owners a live view of their portfolios and, just as importantly, the raw material for automated workflows, natural-language queries, revenue management and AI agents. Alongside the funding, the company has launched Metria AI, an interface meant to carry out complex tasks that operations teams used to handle manually.
Natasha Jones, Metris’s founder and CEO, is framing the company around a simple argument: the energy transition will reward the players who can see, control and monetise assets best, not just the ones sitting on the most kilowatts. That pitch lands because the sector is getting more decentralised, while new revenue streams like flexibility, curtailment management, community energy and corporate PPAs make the data problem even messier.
Metris says the business is already moving. It reports eightfold year-on-year revenue growth and says it now manages more than 10,000 solar plants representing 500MW of capacity for power producers. The new money will go into more agentic features and a push beyond solar into wind and combined heat and power systems, with Europe next on the list and Germany already producing new customer wins.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the sort of company that makes sense because the industry made itself ridiculous first. Energy firms have spent years stacking tools on top of tools, then act surprised when nobody has a clean view of what’s actually happening. A unified layer is boring until it’s the difference between running the plant and merely owning it.
