Energy Flexibility Funds

Copenhagen-based Anchor Energy Partners launched Anchor Fund I, a first fund targeting €75 million to invest in battery storage and other flexibility assets across Europe. 2degrees, the platform’s founding investor and co-owner, backed the initial close alongside investors from its wider network.

The fund targets de-risked, ready-to-build assets as renewable energy, electrification and grid pressure raise demand for flexibility. Europe has under 80 GWh of battery storage installed, against around 1,200 GWh needed by 2050, and European markets recorded more than 7,800 hours of negative wholesale prices in 2025. The team already operates more than 120 MWh of battery storage across Europe, including in Germany and Finland.

Anchor shows how dedicated investment platforms can channel private capital toward the mid-market storage projects Europe’s renewable-heavy grids need.
