With nearly twenty highly qualified professionals, it serves 17 clients, including brands from the Repsol group and MasOrange, the new group formed by the merger of MásMóvil (which includes MásMóvil Energía, Lucera, PepeEnergy, etc.) with Orange, a French company. QUIXOTIC has grown by 300% in the past year in comparison to the prior year.

This milestone will allow us to continue accelerating the digitalization and democratization of the energy sector, making it easier for any marketer, regardless of its size, to compete on equal terms with large companies. We are transforming the way energy is managed and consumed, and collaborating to reduce energy poverty in our country.”
Tomás Penaguião, partner at Bynd Venture Capital, added: “We are very excited to announce our investment in QUIXOTIC. The founding team, with extensive experience in the energy sector, has developed innovative software that offers clear value to customers through cost savings, error minimization and regular updates.

With the ability to share excess green energy, lower energy costs, and create more sustainable local economies, energy communities are emerging as a critical answer for businesses and residents.
