Since its founding in 2011, tado° has built consumer-friendly and energy-efficient smart thermostats and services, that only heat when and where it is necessary. In 2022, tado° doubled its smart thermostats and service sales as homes across Europe seek to improve energy efficiency. The company continues its fast growth, on track to achieve profitability in 2023.

tado° will expand its offering of in-home energy management by combining its Smart Thermostats with Time-of-Use energy tariffs. Such bundled offerings enable the shifting of a home’s energy use toward times of lower-priced energy, thereby unlocking significant further savings. To kickstart this opportunity, tado° acquired aWATTar GmbH, the pioneer of energy load shifting and Time-of-Use energy tariffs. The combined business now plans to drastically scale its bundled offering and enable warm homes at the lowest possible cost and CO2 emissions.
