At GridRaven, we’re on a mission to unlock the hidden capacity of power grids. As the world pushes for a renewable future, grid infrastructure is one of the biggest bottlenecks. While renewable energy is abundant, getting new projects connected to the grid is a challenge, with costly and time-consuming grid upgrades being the only traditional solution.

GridRaven’s story began when we saw renewable energy developers struggling to secure grid connections around the world. The grid is at capacity in areas rich with solar and wind and new projects cannot connect any more. The energy transition is stalling because the grid can't keep up. Building new power lines is costly and slow, with an estimated $1 trillion needed annually, but the bigger issue is the decades it takes, which we can't afford to wait.

We realized the existing grid isn't fully utilized because power lines, which can carry up to four times more power in cold or windy conditions, are operated conservatively due to the lack of precise weather data. Studies show that factoring in weather could boost grid capacity by a third on average over a year, accelerating affordable power by a decade. 

Entire power lines can be limited by short sections that are sheltered from the wind. Existing weather forecasts are not accurate enough for grid operators to safely increase capacity in the entire network. To ensure safety it’s necessary to determine the exact conditions along every section of all power lines in the grid. This insight led us to create GridRaven, where machine learning predicts weather with meter-scale accuracy, unlocking global grid potential. 

GridRaven Claw is a cutting-edge machine learning system that optimizes the grid’s capacity based on actual weather conditions with meter-scale accuracy. Our technology increasing grid capacity by up to 30% on every power line in the world, helping accelerate affordable clean power without the need for expensive new infrastructure, and we can do it without having to wait.

Our team combines decades of experience in power systems, machine learning, and entrepreneurship. We’re here to make grids more efficient, reliable, and ready for the future. Bold steps are needed to unlock the grid’s full potential. We understand the challenges firsthand and are ready to provide the push needed to make progress easier and faster.
