About Agla Energy

Agla Energy was born to address the difficulty commercial and industrial businesses face in financing battery energy storage systems.

Traditional finance providers - such as banks and leasing companies - find battery energy storage a challenging asset given battery degradation, cost of repossession and the lack of a used battery market.

Since 2023, old colleagues and friends José Buera and Christian Giannini have been developing their game-changing Capacity-as-a-Service solution to help businesses access the energy transition without any upfront investments.

Agla Energy was launched in 2025 to help businesses increase power capacity, electrify their fleets, achieve energy independence, reduce energy costs, and access renewable energy 24/7.

Sustainability and impact

We are accelerating the energy transition by broadening access to clean energy infrastructure

  • Agla Energy makes clean energy technology accessible to more companies and helps deploy energy transition systems faster
  • We help remove knowledge barriers to the energy transition by helping our customers design, select, size and implement turn-key systems alongside our partners
  • We help companies implement systems immediately by removing financial barriers so companies can pay for equipment throughout its usable life

Our systems help decongest and optimise energy grids in aggregate

  • In aggregate, Agla Energy systems function as a decentralized network
  • The collective impact of our systems is lower grid congestion by substituting grid supply with on-site energy during hours of peak demand
  • Behind-the-meter energy storage reduce peak demand while limiting renewable curtailment during low demand periods, leading to upstream grid decongestion

Our systems reduce intermittency and curtailment of renewable energy

  • Batteries help lower consumption during peak hours with increased demand during hours of excess production
  • Our clients use Agla Energy systems for peak shaving by storing cheap energy during peak renewable production to use it when grid demand and congestion peak
  • Overall impact is increased renewable energy use by reducing solar or wind energy wastage during periods of high renewable generation using stored energy when the sun has gone down or the wind stops

We help businesses optimise renewable self-generation and reduce wastage

  • Agla Energy helps businesses maximise self generation by reducing on-site solar wastage
  • Battery storage improves renewable self-generation such as on-site solar by creating a micro grid that reduces grid dependance or provides an emergency energy supply
  • Reducing renewable  wastage helps lower grid energy consumption and demand charges/grid fees

De-carbonisation of logistics and distribution

  • Agla Energy helps fleets access charging infrastructure by reducing the capital needed to transition to EV fleets
  • We turn high upfront electrification infrastructure costs into a marginal charge per kWh used, helping companies electrify today
  • In countries with high grid congestion, charging systems require batteries to maximise available gird energy by storing excess from low use periods  to charge vehicles

Battery circularity

  • Agla Energy repurposes all our energy systems with new customers after the end of each CaaS contract regardless of degradation
  • We extend the life of a battery system beyond the 10 year term of a CaaS contract, reaching its maximum 15-20 years usable life
  • As technology improves, we expect to recycle our batteries at the end of their usable life
