Condor Energy is software for large electricity consumers that need to make procurement, hedging, and investment decisions against volatile power markets. The buyer is an industrial, retail, or data-center operator whose energy bill is large enough that a bad spreadsheet or an untimely contract decision changes the economics of the business.

## What it does

Condor says it aggregates consumption, PPAs, solar, batteries, market data, contracts, and regulatory context into one operating view. It models load and market exposure for hedging, simulates procurement choices, sizes behind-the-meter assets, and produces board-ready reporting ([Condor homepage](https://www.condor.energy/); [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/condor-energy)).

| Fact | What the public sources say |
| --- | --- |
| Buyer | Large industrials, retailers, data-center operators, and other C&I consumers |
| Workflow | Monitor consumption, forecast exposure, hedge procurement, and evaluate energy investments |
| Public outcome claim | The YC launch says Condor can cut electricity costs by up to 20% and is live with several enterprise categories |
| Operating context | The company says it works with customers in Europe and is launching in the US |
| Founders | Jean Costa de Beauregard, Clément Grivel, and Florian Pérocheau |

## Why it fits

The platform is valuable when energy is an operating variable, not a utility invoice. A data center may compare PPAs, spot exposure, storage, and interconnection decisions; a retail chain may need a portfolio view across stores; an industrial buyer may need to hedge without losing track of actual load. Condor's product tries to put those decisions on the same data model.

The savings and customer claims come from Condor's public launch material, not an independent energy audit ([Condor YC launch](https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PWb-condor-energy-powering-next-gen-electricity-supply)). A buyer should resolve market and country coverage, meter and contract quality, hedge execution boundaries, regulatory assumptions, asset-control integrations, and how forecasts are validated before committing capital. Pricing was not published. This is an operating-software profile, not financial or energy-market advice.

Founder-market fit is explicit. YC describes the team as former electricity traders and energy physicists; Pérocheau is described as a former power trader, while the founders say they met through hydropower and trading work ([YC company profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/condor-energy)).

Short version: Condor is a strong diligence candidate for an energy-intensive operator with fragmented data and active procurement decisions. Start with one portfolio and a historical forecast, then expand to hedging or capital planning.
