SUMMARY
- Electricity Maps, a climatetech firm located in Copenhagen, has raised €5 million funding.
- This funding is use to quicken the grid's data-driven decarbonisation process. The money is from the climate-focused funds Revent and Transition.
Although the amount of renewable energy entering the system is increasing, wind and sunshine are not always present. Because of this, balancing supply with rising electrical demands is challenging. Thankfully, a large portion of this new demand is adjustable, so power use may be adjusted to coincide with cheaper and more accessible periods for renewable energy.
Founder Olivier Corradi said, “To enable such demand flexibility,” , “data infrastructure is needed to tell billions of grid-connected systems when and where to consume electricity. This is where we come in.”
