Grid and energy solutions cover the technology and services used to generate, store, source and manage electricity, from batteries to grid software to renewable energy procurement. Buyers include utilities, developers, data center operators and large energy users. Subcategories: energy storage companies, smart grid companies, renewable energy project sourcing and solar CRM software. Vendors are listed A–Z with no scores or rankings; see our methodology for how vendors are included.
Ranked by verified data once available. Until then companies are shown A–Z. Paid placements are labeled Sponsored and never change the order.
An energy management system is software, often paired with meters and controls, that monitors, analyzes and optimizes energy use across buildings, sites or equipment.
A smart grid is an electricity network that uses digital communication, sensors and automation to monitor and manage the flow of power between generation and consumers.
Storage lets electricity be saved when supply is high and used when demand is high, which helps balance variable renewable sources such as solar and wind.
Common options include power purchase agreements (PPAs), green tariffs from utilities, on-site generation and energy attribute certificates. The right mix depends on location, load and contract terms.
