The Brazilian company Delfos Energy, dedicated to improving the performance of electricity generation through renewable energy, has installed its global corporate headquarters in Barcelona after closing a round of 6.3 million euros for its international expansion.
The company optimizes, through an advanced real-time analysis platform powered by artificial intelligence, the performance and reliability of renewable energy plants - solar, wind and hydroelectric -, and which is expanding to battery storage. This makes better use of assets, improving performance, with less downtime and detecting possible failures before an incident occurs.

The city will work to ensure that "renewable energies are efficient and reliable and thus contribute to a full green energy transition," said Guilherme Studart, CEO of Delfos Energy. The arrival will strengthen the ecosystem of companies in the sector, in addition to promoting the digital transformation of companies dedicated to renewables, a booming sector in the city.
It currently monitors 10 GW of renewable assets and improves the energy generation of its renewable investments by up to 5%, with a 30% reduction in component replacement costs, in addition to improving data collection, sector analysis and the preparation of reports. With its technology, a performance problem can be identified within 24 hours, avoiding longer periods and downtime.
Delfos will also strengthen its base in Fortaleza, Brazil, where it was created in 2017 and employs 55 people, to respond to the Latin American market and expand to the US in 2025.
The 6.3 million round was led by Contrarian Ventures and Headline and DOMO.VC and EDP Ventures participated.
