Gridcog Energy Project Modelling Software

Gridcog is a B2B SaaS company headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, Berlin, Madrid, Perth and Melbourne. Its founders previously co-founded Greensense, which was acquired by ERM Power. Gridcog builds modelling software that helps developers, consultants and energy majors assess the feasibility and value of flexible energy projects.

The cloud platform simulates energy flows, asset controls, commercial models and cash flows across multiple sites, assets and markets. It covers solar, wind, gensets, batteries, flexible load and EV fleets, including smart and bidirectional charging, for behind-the-meter projects, virtual power plants, microgrids, demand response and utility-scale hybrid parks. Value pools include retail and wholesale prices, network tariffs, ancillary services, capacity and balancing markets, PPAs and certificates, with a pre-configured library for Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe.

• Multi-site, multi-asset simulation: models solar, wind, batteries, gensets, flexible load and EVs together.
• Value stacking: combines retail, wholesale, network tariffs, ancillary, capacity and balancing revenues.
• Battery modelling: AC or DC coupling with degradation, warranty and cycling limits.
• VPP and demand response: models aggregated flexible assets against market rules.
• Financial outputs: cash flow forecasts and asset valuation for investors.
• Market library: pre-configured prices and tariffs for Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe.

Renewable developers in Vietnam could size batteries for new solar farms and compare revenue scenarios. Energy consultants could model rooftop solar plus storage for factories under time-of-use tariffs. Logistics companies could plan depot charging for electric truck fleets alongside on-site solar.

Project teams can assess feasibility and compare designs faster; Prosolia Energy says the software is at least ten times faster than in-house tools. Stacking multiple value pools in one model gives investors a fuller picture of battery and hybrid project revenue. Gridcog reports more than 18,000 projects modelled across 40+ markets, with over 90% including co-located batteries.

Battery storage is increasingly co-located with solar and wind, and revenue depends on stacking several market services, which makes specialised modelling tools essential for investment decisions. In Vietnam, the first BESS requirements for new solar projects and the direct power purchase mechanism are creating similar needs for techno-economic assessment.

Gridcog is headquartered in the United Kingdom and was co-founded by Fabian Le Gay Brereton and Pete Tickler, who previously co-founded Greensense, acquired by ERM Power (now Shell Energy). Users and partners include Shell, TotalEnergies, AGL, Octopus Energy Generation, ABB, Prologis, PwC and Stantec. Plans are sold as annual or monthly subscriptions priced by active sites.
