Approximately 200 employees (Source: rocketreach.co). Revenue of 2 million USD in 2023 (Source: rocketreach.co).

What They Do

gridX focuses on intelligent grid technologies, particularly the XENON IoT platform, which utilizes edge and cloud services to optimize the energy flows from decentralized energy sources such as solar PV systems, batteries, heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers in real-time. The solutions are modular and manufacturer-independent, meaning they are compatible with over 50 manufacturers (Source: rocketreach.co). Products and services include solutions for smart charging, home energy systems, e-mobility, virtual power plants, and intelligent energy districts, enabling dynamic energy distribution and AI-driven decarbonization (Source: freeelectronsblog.org). Target markets include Europe, where gridX operates in over 15 countries, and the customer base ranges from energy companies to fast charging operators and businesses in the e-mobility and home energy management sectors (Source: gridx.ai). Through their manufacturer-independent approach and modular scalability, gridX distinguishes itself from competitors like GE, Siemens, and Schneider Electric, positioning itself as a leading provider of intelligent energy solutions in Europe (Source: freeelectronsblog.org).

Projects & Track Record

Notable projects by gridX include the Europe-wide rollout of intelligent load management solutions for electric vehicle charging stations in collaboration with E.ON, which began in 2017 and was expanded until September 2020 (Source: fev.vc). Additionally, gridX has developed tailored solutions for companies such as Viessmann, DHL, Fastned, Soly, and ENGIE in Belgium, focusing on smart charging and home energy system management (Source: rocketreach.co). Ongoing efforts are focused on scaling the XENON platform for partners in the e-mobility sector to install more powerful charging points without grid extensions (Source: gridx.ai). The geographical presence extends across Germany as the main market and over 15 European countries, with a strong growth phase projected until 2024 (Source: rocketreach.co).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, gridX has recorded over 50% new partnerships outside Germany in 2023, including the first long-term contracts in Switzerland and Spain (Source: gridx.ai). The acquisition of a majority stake by E.ON in September 2021 has enabled new value chains; however, no further mergers or acquisitions have been recorded since 2021 (Source: fev.vc). 2023 marked a milestone in internationalization, and the selection into the Free Electrons startup program in 2021 highlighted the platform capabilities (Source: freeelectronsblog.org).

Working There

gridX offers positions in engineering, software development, product management, and human resources, with Fabienne Römer serving as the Director of HR and Culture leading the HR department (Source: rocketreach.co). The offices are located in Munich and Aachen, and the company culture emphasizes the impact on energy savings and carbon reductions, as highlighted by CEO David Balensiefen (Source: freeelectronsblog.org). The team consists of talents from companies like Google and McKinsey, fostering innovation in a growth-oriented environment (Source: gridx.ai).
