Protecting the grid today, preparing the grid for tomorrow
Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everyone and makes our modern economy possible. But it’s also fragile. When the grid is compromised, everything grinds to a halt, and the consequences can be dire: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, progress stops, and lives are lost. Our team builds smart sensors that help utility companies to immediately detect, find, and fix outages and take steps to prevent new outages, and other related disasters, from happening at all. The need for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow. Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. We are headquartered in San Francisco
Gridware provides real-time grid intelligence aimed at eliminating hazard awareness delay by sensing hazards directly at the pole. Their Active Grid Response platform offers continuous visibility into electrical, physical, and environmental conditions to help utilities detect, locate, identify, and monitor hazards, improving outage prevention and response.
Gridware's platform captures information directly at the pole to provide real-time visibility into electrical, physical, and environmental conditions. It enables immediate detection and precise localization of hazards, detailed identification, and monitoring during outages, supporting crews with targeted location, gear, and information to restore power quickly and safely. The system is described as Active Grid Response, developed in partnership with utilities, and is designed to reduce Hazard Awareness Delay by delivering continuous grid intelligence for field operations.
Who it’s for: Electric utilities and utility crews (linemen) seeking improved hazard detection, outage prevention, and faster restoration.
We are hiring; ongoing product development and utility partnerships; multiple references to pilots and collaboration with utilities; ongoing homepage content and press inquiries indicate active growth and engagement.
