A new energy future is coming, ready or not.
Gridcognition is powerful software to help all the players in the energy system navigate the transition to a decentralised and decarbonised future.
VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS
COMMUNITY ENERGY SYSTEMS
BEHIND-THE-METER SOLUTIONS
MICROGRIDS
By considering more variables, we bring greater confidence to your new energy project, sooner, whatever your role in the energy system.
.
ENERGY PROVIDERS
We help energy providers offer customers more options, integrating distributed technology into supply agreements.
PROJECT DEVELOPERS
We help project developers select the right sites and technology options for their projects, with bankable financial forecasts.
CONSULTANTS & ADVISORS
We help consultants undertake rigorous and complete project assessments so their customers can avoid costly mistakes.
SOLUTION PROVIDERS
We help solution providers assess and explain the interactions between their technology and energy markets.
LARGE ENERGY USERS
We help large energy users explore new supply options before they invest, and then to track and optimise performance.
PROPERTY BUSINESSES
We help land and property developers, and real-estate investment trusts, integrate energy infrastructure into their properties.
We believe the future energy system will be renewable, electrified, and fully distributed.
The $3.5 trillion a year fossil fuel industry will disappear by 2050 and over $10 trillion will be invested in solar, wind and batteries ﹣ and this investment will be increasingly be in smaller, smarter, and more distributed assets.
Solar systems and battery storage scale down and are being installed close to loads to reduce energy transport costs and to enable co-optimisation with loads: electric vehicle charging, industrial and commercial load control, and home energy management systems.
Large-scale generators and large centrally managed power grids will increasingly give way to expanding distributed energy systems within microgrids, embedded networks, virtual power plants, community energy systems, and behind-the-meter renewable power systems.
What is Gridcognition?
We’re here to help the people rolling out new energy assets to get both the best economic outcome for their stakeholders and the best environmental outcome to tackle the climate crisis.

Investing in the future of energy with Gridcognition
Aussie energy tech startup Gridcogniton have closed a $675k pre-seed investment round this week with some of Australia’s leading tech and clean energy investors. From a standing start in February 2020, co-founders Fabian Le Gay Brereton and Pete Tickler have assembled...
Maximising battery value: a commercial analysis of front-of-meter vs behind-the-meter storage
There’s a healthy debate underway in the energy sector around where battery energy storage assets should be located within electricity systems, in order to create the greatest possible value, both for their owners and for society more broadly. As a general rule, the...
Custom File Uploads to S3
There are three kinds of geeks at Gridcognition: energy geeks, data science geeks, and software geeks. I’m the third kind and I thought I’d share what I learnt last week when I was building a file uploader for Amazon S3. Making your own file uploader to s3 can be...
