ElectronX, a US-based energy exchange that helps handle short-term electricity price changes, has raised USD 30 million in Series A funding, led by returning investor DCVC.
The company plans to use this new funding to amplify the launch of its power trading market. The platform will go live next month, as the demand for electricity in the US continues to escalate. ElectronX aims to modernize how electricity markets work by giving tools that help companies manage risks and handle price changes more effectively.
The funding will help expand ElectronX's power trading market. So far, the company has raised a total of USD 55 million. The exchange has received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to operate. The platform will offer smaller, fully collateralized financial products for specific locations and times.
ElectronX’s first products include hourly futures and options for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market, which will help users hedge intraday price changes. More products for other U.S. markets like PJM and CAISO are planned for 2026.
The funding round included investors such as XTX Markets, Five Rings, NGP, GTS, JACS Capital, and others like Innovation Endeavors, Systemiq Capital, Equinor Ventures, and Shell Ventures.
