Our take
Amidst rising concern over CO2 emissions, more and more organizations are looking to transform their energy consumption. Step up GridBeyond, a company supplying AI-enabled solutions to support the optimisation of energy generation, demand and storage for its customers.
The company's ultimate vision is to build a shared energy economy that is both resilient and sustainable, while reducing costs for energy consumers. To do this, it connects distributed energy resources to electricity markets, enabling next-gen energy storage and renewable resources to be used to balance the grid.
