Grid Edge

Formed as a spin-out company from Aston University, Grid Edge is a technology start-up company that has developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that empowers energy consumers to intelligently control and optimise their energy loads. Our innovative AI software deploys predictive machine-learning algorithms and advanced data analytics to reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions and transform energy equipment into revenue-earning assets, creating new value on the consumer’s side of the energy meter. By unlocking the dynamic flexibility of building energy loads, Grid Edge is also able to open up a range of new value propositions to energy suppliers, traders and settlement market interests in the £1billion+ UK wholesale energy market. Our AI software works in harmony with building owners’ existing energy management systems but introduces critical innovation in the form of predictive AI-learning algorithms and advanced data analytics to predict, control and optimise customer's energy loads, generating bottom-line and carbon savings for customers and enables new high-value grid frequency response revenue streams to be accessed for the building owner or operator.
