A PhD-led founding team with deep utility expertise. Gridsight is already the market-leading grid intelligence platform in Australia and is expanding into the US.
Gridsight builds the foundational grid model to enable electrical utilities to see, manage, and optimise their grid.
The AI-powered platform builds a real-time digital twin of electricity distribution networks, turning smart meter and network data into automated engineering decisions. Already deployed across more than half of Australia's distribution networks, Gridsight is the market leader and growing in the US.
-
Gridsight gives electricity distributors a real-time digital twin of their network, turning data into a single, accurate picture of grid capacity and constraints.
The platform delivers 1000x more visibility than traditional approaches, allowing utilities to better utilise their existing network, reducing capital investment and operating costs.
-
Electricity distributors own billions of dollars of network infrastructure that runs well below its true capacity. Without real-time visibility into what's actually flowing through their network, they rely on conservative assumptions. Rejecting viable connections, curtailing solar, and triggering costly capital upgrades that data would show are unnecessary.
