Generation and demand diverge
Solar production often occurs at a different time from heat or charging demand.
Decentralised energy management
Gridlinq connects heat pumps, batteries, solar panels and electric vehicles and coordinates them locally. First within the building. Then across the community.
The challenge
We are electrifying heating, mobility and energy production. This creates simultaneous peaks while locally generated energy is not always used locally.
Gridlinq looks beyond a single device.Solar production often occurs at a different time from heat or charging demand.
Heat pumps, batteries, cylinders and vehicles can demand power simultaneously.
A device usually cannot see what happens elsewhere in the building or street.
How Gridlinq works
Connects local energy assets and monitors the grid connection.
Forecasts demand and determines available flexibility.
Allows buildings to coordinate their energy use.
Makes complex energy technology understandable to users.
Local first
Gridlinq is designed around a local-first principle. The local installation keeps operating when internet or a central service is unavailable.

Human interface
AI helps users communicate with the energy system. Actual control remains governed by fixed rules, limits and safety logic.
From home to community
Each building determines locally how much flexibility is available. Only relevant information needs to reach the community — not all raw household data.
Illustrative example — not a result from an existing deployment
Prediction
A Node can locally forecast heat demand, PV generation, EV charging, battery availability and grid load. Combined, these forecasts create a community view without unnecessarily centralising all source data.
Gridlinq Flex
A heat pump can sometimes wait. An EV does not always need to charge immediately. A battery can temporarily supply or absorb power. Buildings store heat. Gridlinq combines these small amounts of flexibility.
Gridlinq is developing the architecture to scale towards these applications. Participation in flexibility or balancing markets is not yet an operational service.
Route to scale
Optimise one home or building.
Let multiple installations cooperate.
Aggregate predictable flexibility.

ROADMAPFor organisations
Control energy demand across housing portfolios.
Coordinate shared electrical capacity.
Design local energy management into new developments.
Create locally organised energy systems.
Connect installations to an open local control layer.
Open technology
Gridlinq is designed as an integration layer. Depending on the installation and development status, connections can be designed through interfaces including:
View technology →Developed from practice
Gridlinq is developed from hands-on experience with geothermal energy, heat pumps, energy storage and local energy systems. DWPK and LTA Energy provide a strong first application environment — Gridlinq grows as an independent technology proposition.
We are looking for locations and partners for the next generation of local energy systems.
