Loadwise offers a coordination layer that links data center infrastructure management, workload schedulers, cooling systems, and on‑site energy assets to real‑time grid and market signals. By translating these signals into safe, optional operational actions, the platform lets data center operators flexibly adjust power use to meet regulatory requirements, monetize energy flexibility, and expand compute capacity without new grid connections, while retaining full control over hardware and workloads.

Problem
Data center operators face increasingly long grid connection timelines—often exceeding a decade—while demand for compute resources grows rapidly, and upcoming EU regulations will require mandatory demand‑side flexibility to accommodate a higher share of renewable electricity.
Solution
Loadwise provides a coordination layer that integrates existing data center infrastructure management, workload schedulers, cooling systems, and on‑site energy assets with real‑time energy system signals. By translating grid and market information into actionable operational directives, Loadwise enables data centers to adjust power consumption safely and only when it yields economic or reliability benefits. Operators retain full control over their hardware and workloads, while the platform unlocks flexible energy usage that can be monetized or used to meet regulatory requirements. This approach turns grid constraints into a strategic advantage, allowing data centers to expand compute capacity without waiting for new grid connections.
Target Audience
Primary customers are data center operators and managers in regions with constrained grid capacity, particularly in Europe, who need to maintain reliability while scaling compute workloads.
