With IDAE and EU funds, QUIXOTIC takes the leap into Europe

In August 2025 we announced the backing of IDAE and the European Union – Next Generation EU: €800,000 in non-repayable funds under the First Call for Aid for New Business Models in the Energy Transition, part of the PERTE ERHA. The project's goal was concrete: upgrade our solution for energy retailers to make it fit for internationalization, with the development of a regulatory layer for different European countries, and complete a full version of the operating system for Energy Communities.

Twelve months later, that project is no longer a roadmap. It's a track record.

Growth in Spain, first steps in Europe

Since August 2025, QUIXOTIC's commercial activity in Spain has grown 67%. And for the first time, that growth is no longer explained within our borders alone: QUIXOTIC has confirmed its entry into Germany, its first international market, alongside one of the country's largest solar installers — a unicorn company. This is no ordinary client: it's exactly the kind of business model this IDAE grant set out to support, the convergence of distributed generation, self-consumption and energy retail that defines Europe's energy transition.

QUIXOTIC is also in active talks with retailers and new entrants in France, Italy, Czechia and the UK. That's no coincidence: it's the multi-country regulatory layer built with the support of this grant that lets the same platform — cloud-native, multi-tenant and event-driven — operate under different regulatory frameworks without rebuilding the product every time it crosses a border.

The result: a radically different product

The core is still our ERP, evolved over the past year into an end-to-end system that natively covers the full energy retail cycle, from supply point activation to collection. Built on that core, the Energy Billing module — our flagship module — has absorbed much of the investment: a complex billing engine capable of handling the products the energy transition is bringing with it, from dynamic tariffs to billing for shared generation and consumption in energy communities, virtual batteries and PPAs.

Alongside this, we've added energy sales CRM as a new module on the platform: not a generic CRM adapted after the fact, but one built natively for the sector's contracting, consumption and regulated billing cycle, already integrated with the same ERP and the same billing engine.

At the architecture level, the multi-tenant foundation has evolved to support multiple organizations and user hierarchies, designed for groups that operate several retailers or structures that already span borders — a key piece for a single core to serve clients operating in different European countries.

And all of this rests on something that hasn't changed since day one: an API-first, highly flexible architecture, able to adapt to very specific use cases — both for Spanish retailers with particular needs and for new regulatory frameworks outside Spain. That flexibility is what lets us say yes to integrations and business models that a more rigid platform would have to solve by rewriting product — and it's what leaves us, looking ahead, in a strong commercial position both in Spain and across the rest of Europe.

It's the same thesis we started this project with: technology shouldn't be the reason a retailer falls short as it grows, merges, or looks toward another European market. A year later, growth in Spain and the first steps in Germany are proof that this thesis holds up with real clients, not just a roadmap.
