Eenvelio provides a cloud-based service called the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) that creates a digital twin of the power grid to help distribution system operators manage the energy transition. The platform digitizes and automates tasks like grid planning, operations, and interconnection requests for renewable energy sources and EV charging, using machine learning to improve data quality, build validated grid models, and run real-time simulations to forecast grid states and hosting capacity. It differentiates itself by combining a digital twin with automated workflows to dramatically shorten technical evaluations and support DER integration for DSOs of all sizes, with notable clients and strategic backing from E.ON and a North American expansion. Its goal is to speed up grid modernization and enable easier integration of distributed energy resources through automation and digital modeling.

envelio is integrating AI assistants called IGP Agents into its Intelligent Grid Platform to help utility companies manage distribution grid operations more efficiently. The agents allow users to describe tasks in plain language, then automatically access relevant functions, data, and physics-based simulations to deliver solutions. The technology addresses growing complexity in grid management as utilities handle increasing demand, interconnection volumes, and changing load patterns. IGP Agents can perform tasks such as analysing battery storage allocation, identifying grid model errors, and detecting critical areas across entire grids. Security features include human approval requirements for all actions and data anonymisation before processing. The agents have limited, read-only access and cannot transmit data to commercial AI providers. IGP Agents are currently being tested with several utilities, with market launch planned for Q1 2027. envelio will demonstrate the technology at GridFWD 2026 in Utah on 29-30 September.
Cologne-based envelio has developed a GPU-based power flow solver that accelerates grid calculations up to 20,000 times faster than conventional desktop tools, reducing annual time-series simulations from days or weeks to under 30 seconds. The patent-pending technology uses physics-based calculations rather than AI estimation to simulate power grid behaviour when connecting new loads like data centres, EV charging stations and renewable energy systems. This enables utilities to conduct real-time, large-scale grid simulations as part of daily operations. The breakthrough addresses a critical infrastructure bottleneck, with over 2,500 gigawatts of generation, storage and industrial projects currently stuck in grid connection queues worldwide. The solver allows utilities to assess grid capacities, evaluate connection requests and make investment decisions faster whilst maintaining engineering reliability.
envelio, Inc. and Integral Analytics have announced an integration between LoadSEER and the envelio Intelligent Grid Platform, enabling utilities to apply advanced load forecasts directly within grid planning workflows. The integration combines LoadSEER's load forecasting with envelio's distribution network modelling and load flow capabilities. The partnership allows utilities to evaluate future demand growth against real network constraints, assess impacts on feeders and transformers, and improve hosting capacity assessments. By reducing manual data transfers between forecasting and grid modelling tools, utilities can shorten planning cycles whilst maintaining consistency across planning and engineering workflows. The integrated solution supports distribution system planning, interconnection studies and grid investment decisions. Both companies will present the collaboration at DTECH 2026 and host a joint press conference on 4 February.
Envelio, Europe's leading smart grid software provider, has launched Strategic Grid Planner, a new application enabling automated, multi-year utility grid planning. The software evaluates thousands of technically feasible and economically optimised alternatives across planning horizons to help utilities design cost-effective grid plans for target years like 2030, 2035 and 2045. The tool addresses the challenge of rapidly evolving distributed generation, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure outpacing traditional planning methods. It uses AI-based optimisation and high-performance simulation to coordinate decisions across planning years, assessing grid optimisation before considering reinforcement or expansion. Strategic Grid Planner expands envelio's Intelligent Grid Platform, already used by over 80 utilities worldwide. The system features a self-learning algorithm that continuously improves based on insights from each planning scenario.
eCAPITAL invests in energy grid digitization startup envelio. With the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), envelio offers distribution system operators a platform to digitize their energy grids and all related planning and operations processes.
