What Greenspread does

Greenspread, operating commercially as Groendus (now under the combined entity 'Kenter Groendus' following the 2024 merger with Kenter), is a Dutch B2B energy solutions company headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands. The firm sells an integrated energy management platform combining hardware (solar panels, battery storage, EV charging stations, transformers) with software modules — OpbrengstOpwekker, ZonneBater, StroomLijner, RuimteMaker, EnergieMarktplaats, NetWerker, SlimLader, and ThuisLader — that together address the Dutch market's acute grid congestion (netcongestie) challenges. Its core technical bet is a single-vendor stack spanning generation, storage, EV charging, energy management systems, and local energy trading via the EnergieMarktplaats marketplace, which currently lists 8.858 million kWh of available simultaneous green power at €73–€78 under 1–15 year fixed-price contracts.

The company serves 122+ Dutch organizations across primary verticals including industrial/manufacturing, automotive, real estate, government, and energy generators, alongside secondary segments in healthcare and business parks. Revenue mechanics combine upfront hardware sales (solar installations, transformers, EV chargers), recurring managed services and maintenance, subscription-priced simultaneous green energy contracts, transaction-fee-bearing energy trading and PPAs, and professional services including SDE++ subsidy advisory. GTM is predominantly direct enterprise sales via a consultative 'ontzorgen' (taking-care-of) motion, supplemented by content-driven marketing through knowledge dossiers and customer stories. Notable customers include Havenbedrijf Rotterdam, Johan Cruijff Arena, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, Deloitte, Ziekenhuis Gelderse Vallei (4,742 panels), Gemeente Breda (94,000 panels on former landfill), and Bloomberg-tier players such as Makro and Hedin Automotive.

The company holds ISO 27001 certification and operates solely in the Netherlands with no disclosed revenue figures, venture funding, or ownership structure beyond an unspecified shareholder base referenced on its corporate site.
