Was macht ihr und was unterscheidet euch von euren Wettbewerbern?	Gridcog is on a mission to accelerate the global deployment of flexible energy assets (including battery storage) by empowering teams with intelligent project modelling software. Our platform handles complex, multi-region, multi-site, multi-asset, and multi-participant projects, accurately representing both physical and commercial realities. Users can model hundreds of project variations in hours, not weeks, leveraging pre-designed templates, drag-and-drop interfaces, and a benchmarked library of markets, tariffs, and assets. Every assumption, calculation, and outcome is fully transparent and downloadable, removing black boxes and providing results that can be confidently used for investment, financing, and operational decisions. Used by the world’s most impactful energy transition leaders, including Shell, Prologis, and GoldenPeaks Capital, Gridcog was founded in 2020 in Australia and is now headquarted in the UK with offices across Europe (including Germany) and Australasia. We are on track to become the world’s most trusted platform for modelling clean energy projects across the full asset lifecycle.
Wie schätzt ihr den Markt 2026 in eurem Tätigkeitsfeld ein?	2026 marks a pivotal moment for Germany's energy transition. Shifting regulations and emerging commercial models are driving a transformative landscape, where co-location and complex infrastructure, from grid-connection constraints and PPA/EEG retrofits to evolving BESS offtake structures, present both challenges and valuable opportunities for shared insight. We’re thrilled to be opening our Berlin office and expanding Gridcog’s presence in Europe. Our customers are increasingly focused on diversifying and innovating their physical asset offerings, with investments in storage and flexible assets becoming essential. With increasingly constrained grids, dynamic connection requirements, and the need to generate revenue across multiple markets, Germany represents an exciting frontier for scalable solutions and strategic growth.
Was sind eure größten Herausforderungen?	One of our biggest challenges is education. The energy transition is a constantly evolving landscape, with trillions of dollars being invested in renewable assets over the next decade and an increasing number of companies, IPPs, developers, and suppliers needing to diversify their energy consumption and on-site assets. The projects they are building are inherantly complex and operating in complex commercial enviornments as well. This creates a strong need to educate stakeholders, particularly those new to the energy world. To address this, we created the Thinking Energy video series, where we break down complex modelling topics and share high-level energy market insights from across Europe and Australasia. The series helps make the complexities of energy transition accessible and actionable for a wide audience.
Welche Wünsche habt ihr an an Politik, Netzbetreiber und andere?	Projects that co-locate generation, storage, and load behind a shared connection are one of the most efficient ways to use existing network capacity and improve system stability at both the transmission and distribution level. They can smooth exports, absorb local load and generation during constrained periods, reduce peak demand, and generally provide valuable flexibility. In practice, that means more capacity delivered from the same grid infrastructure, and better commercial outcomes for asset investors. But current rules in many European markets still treat hybrid sites as an edge case and assess them on conservative worst-case assumptions (max import plus max export), duplicated classifications (generator vs load vs storage), and tariff or charging structures that penalise co-location and flexiblity. Storage in particular is frequently modelled as a hindrance rather than a controllable asset, even though it can be operated within enforceable limits. The request to policymakers and operators is to shift from penalising configuration to regulating outcomes: assess hybrid sites on their net behaviour at the point of connection, allow clear and enforceable operating envelopes (export/import caps, ramp limits), and provide a standard pathway for hybrid connections. This also shortens connection queues by freeing up more network capacity and prioritising projects that can deliver the most value to the power system, asset investors, and ultimately, electricity consumers.
