Energy, capital, data centres. At one table.
Trustvolt Energy Group was founded in 2022 by three experts — from energy project development, infrastructure finance and data-centre operations. Their shared conviction: whoever has the power decides where AI is built. That is why we develop both from one source.
One thesis. Three disciplines. One platform.
Trust is the foundation of infrastructure that lasts — the trust of investors, communities and operators who commit for decades. Volt is the energy those commitments deliver.
Each of the three founders had run into the same limit in their own field. In energy development, parks were waiting for buyers who would commit for decades. In infrastructure finance, investors were looking for real assets with contracted cash flows and a link to the energy transition. In data-centre operations, demand was growing faster than any grid could connect it.
Instead of solving the problem from one side, they decided to solve it from all three: secure the grid connection first, build generation and storage on it, and lease the data centre that needs both. Trustvolt was founded on exactly this model in 2022.
From the start, the strategy has been deliberate rather than opportunistic. Sites are selected against fixed criteria, value is created in development rather than bought in, and construction capital only flows once power and tenant are secured.

The thesis
The founders develop the power-to-compute model and the criteria every site must meet.
- 2022
Foundation
Trustvolt Energy Group is founded. First site secured; seed round with two European family offices.
- 2023–24
Platform
Development of the first campus. 30 further sites in four countries are mapped and assessed.
- Today
Three funds
The platform opens to investors: one fund for each pillar of the value chain.
Physical, not notional
Renewable supply is delivered to the site, not matched on paper.
Contract before concrete
No construction capital without a signed tenant and a secured connection.
Local benefit by design
Heat, jobs and procurement are planned, not promised afterwards.
Plain reporting
Investors and partners receive the same numbers we use ourselves.
