Å Energi transfers the GridTools platform to NODES to accelerate grid innovation

We are pleased to announce that Å Energi transfers the GridTools platform to NODES. This transition ensures continued development and broader deployment of the platform within a growing ecosystem of grid stakeholders.

GridTools is already fully integrated into the NODES Platform and is actively used by Norwegian Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in the Euroflex and Nextgrid projects. This integration will continue, and by bringing both solutions under the same management, we enable a more streamlined development environment and improve NODES’ smart grid offerings.

NODES, with its strong focus on grid flexibility and market innovation, is well positioned to take GridTools to the next level. The platform will remain open and interoperable, continuing to support multiple marketplaces, operational technologies, and standalone services for DSOs.

“At Å Energi, we are pleased to see GridTools become part of NODES’ growing platform. By moving GridTools to NODES, we ensure both a strong development environment and access to a larger market. At the same time, we achieve a more streamlined and natural company structure,”

says Svein Are Folgerø, Chair, Å Energi Fleksibilitet.

“The integration of GridTools into NODES marks a significant step forward in our mission to support System Operators with smart grid services that enable efficient flexibility procurement and operational planning,”

says Richard Sarti, CEO of NODES.

“By combining the analytical power of GridTools with the transactional capabilities of the NODES Platform, we are creating a seamless experience for grid stakeholders – from planning to market execution – and reinforcing our commitment to open, interoperable solutions.”
