Having achieved the leadership position in Europe, at the beginning of 2020, GridBeyond launched operations in the U.S., starting from the liberalized energy markets: Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and PJM Interconnection, with plans to expand into further territories over the coming months. The company looks forward to working closely with C&I businesses, utilities, generators, distributors, utilities, transmission and grid operation networks to enhance their financial outcomes, increase operational resilience and improve sustainability.
