Overview
Gradyent provides a software platform that optimizes and decarbonizes district heating and cooling networks for major energy providers. Its real-time Digital Twin replicates an entire grid—from production to end-user—by combining geographic data, weather, and sensor data with physics-based models and AI to monitor, simulate, and optimize operations. It differentiates itself by offering an end-to-end digital twin tailored to heating networks, delivering measurable gains like reductions in CO2, operating costs, and capital expenditures. Its goal is to help energy providers speed up the energy transition by scaling a platform that improves grid performance and decarbonization globally.
