Loadwise provides a coordination layer that helps data centers turn grid and energy signals into actionable forecasts and operational decisions. The platform supports flexible connection agreements and power management by translating local generation, grid constraints, and price signals into clear guidance for both new connections and live sites. It enables operators to demonstrate load flexibility, which is increasingly required by European grid operators and regulation.

Problem
Grid connection timelines in constrained European regions now reach 7-10 years, while energy demand continues to accelerate. Data center operators face growing pressure to demonstrate flexible power operations, as grid operators increasingly make this a positive criterion for connection requests and EU regulation moves toward demand-side flexibility requirements.
Solution
Loadwise provides a coordination layer that sits between data center infrastructure and the energy system, translating grid and energy signals into operational opportunities. The platform brings together signals from the energy system—such as local generation, grid constraints, and prices—with data from the operator's own operations, turning both into forecasts and clear decisions. This works whether the operator is planning a new connection or running a live site, and existing systems remain in place. Loadwise also supports Flexible Connection Agreements (FCAs) by helping operators assess FCA requirements in their grid region and implement flexible power management solutions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are data center operators and developers in European regions facing grid connection constraints, particularly those pursuing new connections or managing live sites under evolving demand-side flexibility regulations.
Features
- Forecasting engine that combines energy system signals (local generation, grid constraints, prices) with operational data from data centers
- FCA Assessment tool that evaluates flexible connection agreement requirements specific to a grid region
- Flexible Power Management Solution for live sites, enabling load flexibility of up to 40% as demonstrated in data center pilots
- Non-disruptive integration layer that coordinates between existing infrastructure and the energy system without replacing current systems
- Decision-oriented output that translates complex grid and price signals into clear operational actions
