The Chilean firm Bluetek became the first investment of AbastibleTec, the Abastible subsidiary that develops solutions related to energy efficiency and smart energy. The US$500,000 investment aims to scale up the technology of the startup, which specializes in analyzing and optimizing the energy consumption of climate control systems, lighting, critical equipment, and industrial systems.

Interest arose following a pilot project conducted with AbastibleTec clients, the results of which were decisive in moving forward with the investment. As explained by the subsidiary’s CEO, Ignacio Mackenna, Bluetek’s technology, based on multi-variable analysis to optimize climate control systems, enabled energy savings of nearly 30%. “We extrapolated that case to the potential existing in Chile and in the countries where we operate, and we realized it was an interesting market. The higher the electricity price, the greater the opportunity for energy savings. We estimate that the solution can generate savings of at least 20% in electricity consumption for climate control,” he stated.

Mackenna added that this initiative reflects AbastibleTec’s focus on startups capable of transforming data into efficiency, cost reduction, and lower emissions. The agreement with Bluetek also includes a joint commercial plan to expand the solution to the markets where the subsidiary operates, leveraging its network across six countries.
