We bring green power and data centres together.
Founded in 2022 by three experts in energy project development, infrastructure finance and data-centre operations.
Three industries.
One model.
Each of the three founders had hit the same limit in their field. Parks were waiting for buyers, investors were looking for real assets with contracted income, and demand for data centres was growing faster than any grid could connect it.
Instead of solving the problem from one side, we solve it from all three: generate green power, make it reliable with storage and supply it to data centres under fixed contracts. The name says it: Trust is the trust of investors, communities and operators who commit for decades. Volt is the energy that delivers on those commitments.
From thesis to company.
The thesis
The founders develop the business model and the criteria every site must meet.
Founding
Trustvolt Energy Group is founded. First site secured, seed round with two family offices.
Build-up
First parks and storage in development. A further 30 sites in four countries mapped and assessed.
Private placement
Open to private investors for the first time: mezzanine capital and private equity. Planned next step: IPO.
What we hold ourselves to.
Real assets
Our green power comes from our own parks, not from purchased guarantees of origin.
Contract first
No construction capital without a signed buyer and a secured grid connection.
Local benefit
Heat, jobs and procurement are planned in, not promised afterwards.
Clear numbers
Investors and partners receive exactly the same figures that we work with ourselves.
The founding team.
James Harding
Managing Partner, Development
Fifteen years in European energy project development, from offshore-wind consenting to grid-connected solar.
Dr. Katharina Engel
Managing Partner, Capital and Finance
Two decades in infrastructure investment and project finance, over €2 billion of transactions in energy and transport.
Michael Tran
Partner, Data-Centre Operations
A decade building and operating hyperscale data centres in Europe and Asia. He knows what AI needs.
Developing sites together.
A project succeeds when the people around the site benefit. These are the partners we work with.
Landowners and site owners
Open land, industrial sites and former power stations near data centres. We lease or buy and carry assessable permit risk.
Municipalities and regions
Skilled jobs, business tax and, where there is a heat network, low-cost waste heat. We prefer to award contracts locally.
Grid operators and utilities
Our storage relieves the grid, taking in power when there is too much and releasing it when there is too little.
Data-centre operators and cloud providers
Green power at fixed prices, reliable around the clock, from 50 to 250 MW. On request, we also support the search for the right site.
Construction and engineering partners
A few long-term partners and standard designs we reuse across many sites. We build at fixed prices or agreed target costs.
Advisers, banks and project developers
Project finance, power purchase agreements, planning and joint development of parks. Long-term partnerships rather than tenders.
How we work together.
Introduction
A call or a meeting on site, where we get to know you and your site in person.
Initial assessment
Grid, zoning, sun, wind and environment. Two to four weeks, free of charge for you.
Letter of intent
Exclusivity, lease or purchase and a timeline, all set out clearly and bindingly.
Development
Grid connection, permits, generation and buyers, all with one dedicated contact.
Let’s talk.
30 minutes by phone or video. We send you the prospectus in advance and answer every question.
