Antora closes $550 million Series C funding

Antora Energy has announced the closing of a $550 million Series C funding round to accelerate deployment of thermal battery projects for industry, data centers, and the grid.

• The round was co-led by G2 Venture Partners and Eclipse and included participation from new investors Ribbit Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Activate Capital, John Doerr, Westly Group, StepStone Group, and Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, plus existing investors.
• Antora says the funding will help expand production, establish a second U.S. manufacturing hub, strengthen its domestic supply chain, and speed rollout of large-scale projects; it also references a recently deployed 5 gigawatt-hour system in South Dakota and a growing pipeline with hyperscalers and industrial leaders.
