Disclosed round sizes in this France energy snapshot are highly skewed: the largest disclosed amount is Electra’s $333M on 2025-07-24, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds (Neoen $885M on 2024-12-18 is actually larger than $333M and represents the top disclosed amount in the rows shown; see FAQ for the correct comparison). The smallest disclosed amount is $110K (Stima on 2023-06-26), making the disclosed range span from six-figure rounds to nine-figure deals.
Temporal and geographic clustering is visible in the most recent entries. Round dates run from 2025-08-27 (Koolboks) back to 2023-06-15 (NetZero), with multiple rounds concentrated in mid-2024 (e.g., June 2024 includes TSE $104M on 2025-01-20—outside window—so instead June 2024 includes Survoltage $2M on 2024-10-17 not; the strongest observable burst is March 2025–July 2025 with several rounds from 2025-03-06 through 2025-07-17). Location also concentrates in Paris/Ile-de-France, which appears repeatedly across large and small checks (e.g., Neoen $885M on 2024-12-18; Electra $333M on 2025-07-24; EODev $50M on 2023-11-15). Stage classification is also mixed: “Series Unknown” appears 18 times, while “undisclosed” appears 2 times (UNITe on 2024-06-11; Tiamat on 2024-01-15; NetZero on 2023-06-15), shaping how concentration by stage can be interpreted from disclosed amounts alone.

Frequently asked
What are the biggest and smallest disclosed rounds in this France energy list, and how extreme is the spread?
The largest disclosed amount is Neoen’s $885M (2024-12-18). At the low end, Stima’s $110K (2023-06-26) is the smallest disclosed amount, creating a very wide disclosed range from six figures to $885M.
Do the most recent entries cluster in time (and which period shows the densest activity)?
Yes. The top of the table shows a tight sequence from 2025-06-02 (Eco-Tech Ceram $18M) through 2025-07-17 (STELLARIA $27M), with multiple rounds between 2025-06 and 2025-07 and the most recent date being 2025-08-27 (Koolboks $11M).
Is there a geography hub pattern, particularly around Paris/Ile-de-France?
Paris/Ile-de-France is over-represented among both large and smaller checks, including Neoen $885M (2024-12-18), Electra $333M (2025-07-24), ZE Energy $59M (2024-11-05), and Hello Watt $13M (2023-11-06). Other regions (e.g., Rhone-Alpes with Grenoble/Lyon and Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur with Paris-adjacent cities like Aix-en-provence) appear, but Paris/Ile-de-France repeats most consistently across sizes.
How does the stage mix affect interpretation of disclosed amounts here?
“Series Unknown” is common (18 rows), so a lot of disclosed size movement can’t be directly mapped to a named stage. Named stages that do recur include Seed (e.g., Justclip $2M on 2025-07-13; Hoji $9M on 2024-12-21) and Series A/B (e.g., Series A: Koolboks $11M on 2025-08-27; Series B: ZE Energy $59M on 2024-11-05; Eco-Tech Ceram $18M on 2025-06-02).
Are there outliers within the disclosed amounts worth a closer look?
Neoen’s $885M (2024-12-18) is a major outlier compared with most other disclosed rounds, which largely sit in the low tens of millions (e.g., DejaBlue $8M on 2025-06-26; STELLARIA $27M on 2025-07-17). At the same time, the smallest disclosed checks are truly small by comparison (Stima $110K on 2023-06-26), creating a second outlier at the low end.
