About
GridBeyond operates the world's leading technology platform for managing distributed and flexible energy resources. By combining artificial intelligence with over 70 real-time data points—including weather, market prices, and grid signals—the platform intelligently dispatches energy flexibility into the right market at the right time. Designed for both asset owners (front-of-meter) and energy users (behind-the-meter), GridBeyond supports a wide range of assets: utility-scale battery storage, wind and solar generation, gas peakers, CHP units, EV fleets, data centres, cold stores, and more. Its core services include Demand Side Response, battery storage optimisation, corporate PPAs, carbon management, microgrid solutions, and Virtual Power Plant aggregation. The platform is backed by 24/7 Network Operations Centre (NOC) monitoring and manages over 3.6 GW of load across 1,400+ client sites. GridBeyond operates across multiple regions including the UK, Ireland, Australia, the US, Canada, and Japan. Key beneficiaries include industrial manufacturers, healthcare facilities, logistics operators, renewable energy developers, and large enterprises pursuing net-zero targets. By bridging the gap between distributed energy resources and competitive electricity markets, GridBeyond enables organisations to monetise flexibility, hedge against price volatility, and build energy resilience—all while supporting the global transition to a sustainable, low-carbon energy system.
