ABB invests in Gridcog to speed up microgrid and renewable energy project modeling

ABB made a strategic minority investment in UK startup Gridcog, which provides a digital platform for modeling complex microgrids, distributed energy resources, and energy-as-a-service solutions. The platform helps utilities, independent power producers, and commercial customers design and compare energy projects with clear visibility on both financial returns and carbon impact. Gridcog's software enables rapid scenario modeling across different energy markets and asset types. Combined with ABB's advisory and engineering services, the partnership aims to help customers move from concept to implementation faster. This supports the shift toward integrated, service-led energy solutions for commercial and industrial customers as electrification and renewables continue to grow. The financial terms were not disclosed. The collaboration is part of ABB's broader innovation ecosystem to connect software, hardware, and services into more cohesive offerings for the energy transition.
