With a focus on decarbonization and societal impact, we aim to revolutionize the energy system. In the process, we create green jobs and contribute to the creation of a resilient, clean and inclusive energy future. This energy transition, away from fossil fuels, will enhance both domestic and regional energy security and independence in an increasingly geopolitically complex world. Elestor was founded in 2014 by Wiebrand Kout, an experienced scientist. Kout was convinced that he could invent a technological solution to one of society’s greatest challenges, namely climate change. The following year, he was joined by physics graduate and seasoned businessman Guido Dalessi. Dalessi was impressed with Kout’s vision for a new, clean energy system with robust electricity storage at its core. In 2021, international MBA and corporate change and growth expert Hylke van Bennekom joined the team, with finance wizard Pieter Pijper arriving in 2023. As the team grew, Kout’s invention was fine-tuned, investment from some of the most forward leaning forces behind the energy transition was secured, and Elestor earned the respect and trust of both policy makers and the general public.
