AmpereHour Secures $5 Million in Series A Funding

13 Mar 2025 CW Team

AmpereHour Energy specialises in modular, scalable, and software-driven battery energy storage systems (BESS). It has a commissioned capacity of over 40 MWh and has implemented more than 1,000 MWh of energy storage projects across 50 global sites. Its technology stack includes the AH-Stack module integrated with its proprietary ELINA Energy Management Software, which improves grid stability, enables efficient renewable energy integration, and ensures reliable backup power for critical infrastructure.

The company also offers turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction services to ensure seamless integration and long-term reliability for its clients. Its customer base includes leading domestic and international firms such as Indigrid, Cummins, Siemens, Coca-Cola, Amazon, Yellow Door (UAE), and BRPL.

AmpereHour’s growth aligns with India’s increasing focus on energy storage. The Ministry of Power recently mandated that all renewable energy agencies and state utilities incorporate a minimum two-hour co-located energy storage system equivalent to 10% of installed solar capacity in all solar tenders. This mandate could drive the installation of approximately 14 GW/28 GWh of storage by 2030.

The funding comes amid rising corporate investment in the energy storage sector. According to Mercom Capital Group’s Annual and Q4 2024 Funding and M&A Report, total funding — including venture capital, public market funding, and debt financing — rose 5% year-over-year. Avaana Capital itself received a $120 million investment in March 2024, including $24.5 million from the Green Climate Fund.
