Energy funding nearly doubles to €976M on 30 deals

Energy sector funding rose from €519M in the 90 days prior to the current window to €976M in the 90 days to 29 September 2026, an increase of 88% (a 1.9x ratio), while deal count climbed from 25 to 30 rounds. That places Energy among the smaller sectors tracked in this window: its €976M recent total trails AI's €6.7B, Cloud's €3.4B, Fintech's €2.4B, Robotics' €2.0B and Healthtech's €1.8B, and is roughly comparable to Space at €945M. In percentage terms, however, Energy's 88% increase stands out against a broader sector picture that is mixed — AI grew from €3.2B to €6.7B, Cloud from €3.0B to €3.4B and Robotics from €1.5B to €2.0B, while Healthtech, Software, Space, Cybersecurity, Deeptech, Cleantech and Semiconductors all declined over the same comparison. Energy's rise in deal count, from 25 to 30, also contrasts with sectors such as Software, where deals fell from 169 to 121, and Healthtech, where they fell from 96 to 77.
