This July marks a milestone that eclipses all other ne
ws for us: Bamboo Energy turns 5 years old.
Five years since we were born as a spin-off of IREC with one clear idea — energy flexibility had to be part of the transition.
What back then felt like an ambitious bet has today become a
solid reality. Over these past five years:
We have expanded our work across five Eur
opean countries.
We now collaborate with more than 25 energy companies.
In the last year alone, we have doubled both our team and our revenue.
And we manage a growing portfolio of asse
ts: behind-the-meter batteries, front-of-the-meter storage, buildings and industrial facilities together with leading retailers across different markets.
We have validated our technology under very diverse conditions and learned — a lot — about how to turn energy flexibility into something useful, profitable and real for the system.
But beyond the numbers, what truly makes this anniversary special is the journey itself: a journey shared with clients, investors, partners, associations, colleagues and all those who believed — and continue to believe — in a more flexible, digital and collaborative energy transition.
On July 10th, we brought together more than 100 people from the European energy ecosystem in Barcelona.
The event was filled with inspiring roundtables, long-awaited reunions, forward-looking conversations… and a very special toast.
“When we learned that IREC was launching a spin-off, at IDAE we said: this is an opportunity we cannot miss. Bamboo is a source of pride. Five years ago, talking about flexibility encountered resistance, but you already had a clear vision. I hope you continue counting on us in this journey.”
— Miguel Rodrigo, Director General of IDAE
The celebration also featured contributions from key industry voices i
ncluding Joan Pinyol, Gonzalo Murillo, Pedro Riera, Alicia Carrasco, Santiago Martínez, Montse Musons, and Daniel Davi, among many others.

No slowing down.
The months ahead will bring new markets, new challenges… and a new SRAD campaign, where we hope to count on you once more.
Thank you for being part of this story — whether from near or far.
These five years are just the beginning of a journey that we are excited to keep building together.
