Volterica is an energy-tech company focused on helping industrial energy planners, advisers, project developers, and energy managers make clearer investment and system-design decisions. On its website, Volterica positions its product as a 'What-If Machine' for industrial energy systems, aimed at answering investment and sizing questions across multiple energy-related options such as photovoltaic, battery storage, PPAs, trading, load planning, hydrogen, and flexibility.
The platform is described as a scenario-based planning tool that structures relevant ideas and planning approaches into a digital, configurable system model. It then uses machine-learning-supported simulation to analyze different scenarios based on historical or forecast data, helping determine the optimal combination, dimensioning, and operating strategy of components and systems - while accounting for technical and economic interactions. Results are presented as data-driven recommendations for an optimal investment strategy, including business metrics such as ROI and amortisation, plus CO2 budgeting, shown in interactive online dashboards. Volterica also emphasizes cloud-based, collaborative sharing of results across stakeholders like engineers, CFOs, bankers, and other decision-makers.
