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.

Thinking Energy
At Gridcognition, we’re always thinking energy – musings, ponderings, predictions – we can’t get enough of it. Stay up to date and follow our journey as we work to build the software that enables the future of energy around the world.
Which network provides the strongest price signal for solar and batteries?
The TL;DR We simulated the same behind-the-meter commercial solar and battery project across the 14 distribution networks that make up the WEM and NEM. We found that there could be up to a 150% difference in the network tariff savings based on the very same...
Aggregating the future in the US
In September 2020, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order 2222, which removed barriers to the participation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in wholesale electricity markets for energy, capacity, and ancillary services. DERs including roof-top...
Battery Storage in a 5-minute Market
On 1 October 2021 the National Electricity Market on Australia’s east coast will take the significant step of moving from 30-minute to 5-minute settlement. This will doubtless have lots of interesting ramifications, one of which is likely to be that anyone who...
