Gridraven, the energy tech company redefining grid intelligence, won a public tender by Fingrid, Finland’s national transmission system operator, to deploy Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) across the country’s high-voltage transmission network.
The U.S. almost flunked a critical energy exam. Last week, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) rated America’s energy infrastructure a D+, down from a C- in 2021. This alarming grade should be a wake-up call for the industry.
Among the many conversations I’ve had the past few weeks in Houston around CERAWeek and at DISTRIBUTECH in Dallas, a consistent theme has emerged: electricity prices are surging, and geopolitical shifts are complicating energy security.
Discussing how Gridraven's solution helps the power grid operate up to 30% more efficiently
Imagine unlocking 30% more power from our existing grid overnight. That’s the potential we’re ignoring, and it’s costing us billions.
Power grids are under pressure. Electricity demand is rising, yet infrastructure expansion is slow and costly. The good news? We don’t always need more power lines—we just need to use the ones we have more efficiently.
From bitter cold and flash flooding to wildfire threats, last week brought extreme weather to Texas, leading to concerns about the reliability of its grid. Since the winter freeze of 2021, the state’s leaders and lawmakers have more urgently wrestled with how to strengthen the resilience of the grid while also supporting immense load growth.
A smarter, more efficient energy future starts with the right people. At Gridraven, we bring together experts from different fields, all working toward the goal of helping solve the global energy bottlenecks.
The Raven is our quarterly magazine, delivering insights on DLR, machine learning, and the technology shaping the future of energy. Published in print and online, it brings news, expert takes, and real-world impact—fast, clear, and always ahead of the curve.
Gridraven is now officially registered in the United States, and we’ve secured €4 million in funding from the VC firms 42CAP and Icebreaker.vc to support our expansion.
Gridraven proudly announces its official expansion into the United States with the registration of Gridraven Inc.
Let's delve into the latest topics, trends, and innovations as seen in the media, shaping the energy landscape and highlighting the critical role DLR plays in this evolution.
Gridraven's machine learning model improves wind speed forecast accuracy by 50% in the Golden State compared to the existing large scale numerical weather predictions. These improvements are fully leveraged in our software-based Dynamic Line Rating solution, leading to increased safety and efficiency in grid operations.
Gridraven’s 2024 has been a year of growth, learning, and validating our technology, but most importantly, it has set the stage for scaling up in 2025.
Henri and I attended CEATI's annual transmission and distribution conference in Palm Springs, California, this November. CEATI is one of the main power industry networks where utility engineers produce technical reports and guidance documents. During the event there are engineering working groups, parallel conference-style presentations, as well as an exhibition floor.
By harnessing machine learning and cutting-edge technology, Gridraven is optimizing energy infrastructure, increasing transmission line capacity, and paving the way for a more efficient energy future. Our Co-Founder and CTO's story underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in reshaping the global energy landscape.
We brought together experts from Estonia’s energy sector to discuss electricity prices in Estonia and nearby, what drives them, and how they can be reduced.
At Gridraven, I work with a wide range of geospatial data—weather observations, digital elevation models (DEM), and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. My job is finding, cleaning, and preparing these datasets to train machine learning models. The end goal? Precise wind forecasts that can help optimize the performance of high-voltage power lines.
