National newspaper EL ESPAÑOL highlighted Bamboo Energy as one of Spain’s most innovative energy-tech companies, showcasing how its AI-driven platform helps consumers adapt their electricity usage to real-time market conditions and renewable production.
The article profiles the three scientific founders — Cristina Corchero, PhD, Manel Sanmartí and Mattia Barbero, PhD — and their decade of research at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) that led to the creation of Bamboo Energy. Their software enables homes, businesses and industries to optimise consumption, reduce costs and actively participate in the energy transition.
The feature also underscores Bamboo Energy’s growing visibility among major energy players, including its recent participation in Repsol Foundation’s Women Entrepreneurs in the Energy Transition event, where Cristina Corchero represented the company as CTO.
It further examines key challenges and opportunities for Spain’s renewable system, such as increasing solar curtailment and the need for intelligent demand management. The article highlights real examples of how Bamboo Energy’s technology supports commercial buildings, food markets and rural energy communities by ensuring flexibility without disrupting operations.
With activity already in Spain, Portugal, France and Belgium, and plans to expand into Sweden, Bamboo Energy continues to position itself at the forefront of Europe’s emerging flexibility markets.
