Energy industry software specialist Volue has completed a deal to acquire SmartPulse, a full‑suite short‑term power trading and battery optimisation platform for asset owners and aggregators across Europe.
Norway-based Volue said the acquisition accelerates its expansion into Central and Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and Turkey.
Founded in 2018, SmartPulse is a certified Independent Software Vendor (ISV) at EPEX SPOT, Nord Pool and various other European energy exchanges, operating with a team of more than 80 energy market specialists.
The company will benefit from Volue’s resources to accelerate its development and geographic expansion over the coming years. Volue’s commercial team will bring the SmartPulse platform to existing and new customers across Europe.
Volue’s interim chief executive Martin Vieider said: “With this acquisition, we accelerate our expansion into new European markets and strengthen our position as a full-suite provider for renewable asset operators.
“The move directly enhances our battery storage and optimisation capabilities, deepens our presence across regions, and supports our ambition of becoming the leading global independent energy software player.”
SmartPulse chief executive and founder Önder Akar added: “Joining Volue enables us to accelerate our European rollout of TSO connections and broaden our suite internationally, while giving our customers the confidence of a market‑leading global partner.
“We share Volue’s ambition of connecting assets to markets, and we’re excited to scale that vision together.”
