Reliability first
We work in critical infrastructure; getting it right matters more than getting it flashy.

About Cindergrid
The team building software for a cleaner, steadier grid.
Cindergrid began with a simple observation: as more solar, wind, and storage come online, the grid gets harder to predict — and the tools most operators use were built for a steadier, more centralized world.
We build software that gives the people running the grid a clear, shared, and trustworthy picture of what is happening and what is coming, so the shift to clean energy does not come at the cost of reliability.
Our mission
Cindergrid helps the people who run the grid make faster, better-informed decisions as more renewable and distributed energy comes online — so the transition to clean power stays reliable and affordable.
Values
What we believe
Toward clean energy
We measure success by how much cleaner and steadier the grids we serve become.
Partner with operators
We build with the control room, not just for the boardroom.
