# Splight

> Splight is a grid-technology company that uses machine learning to squeeze more capacity out of the power lines that already exist. Its flagship product, Dynamic Congestion Management (DCM), reads real-time conditions on transmission lines and turns fast-responding assets like batteries and data centers into grid-stabilizing tools, unlocking up to twice the usable capacity without building a single new tower. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company targets utilities, grid operators, and the AI data centers straining the grid - it now manages more than 3 gigawatts of grid assets and has raised about $24.4M to expand across North America and Europe.

- **Founded:** 2020
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Fernando Llaver (CEO & Co-Founder), Thomas Vadora (Co-Founder), Carlos Caldart (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~69 employees
- **Products:** Dynamic Congestion Management (DCM), Dynamic Line Rating, AI-enabled electrical studies, DCM Sandbox, Real-Time Simulation / Hardware-in-the-Loop
- **Notable:** Surpassed 3 gigawatts of grid assets under management, Raised approximately $24.4M across seed and SAFE rounds, Backed by climate and infrastructure investors including Blue Bear Capital, ZOMA Capital, noa, EDP Ventures and Elewit

## Products & services

- **Dynamic Congestion Management (DCM)** — A machine-learning system that safely unlocks up to 100% more usable capacity on existing transmission lines by responding to grid contingencies in real time - no new lines or hardware required.
- **Dynamic Line Rating** — Real-time monitoring and rating of transmission lines based on actual conditions rather than conservative static limits, freeing up capacity that is otherwise left unused.
- **AI-enabled electrical studies** — Faster interconnection and transmission studies for data centers and new loads, accelerating the queue to connect to the grid.
- **DCM Sandbox** — A modeling tool that lets operators simulate Dynamic Congestion Management scenarios before deployment.
- **Real-Time Simulation / Hardware-in-the-Loop** — Testing environment that validates grid control strategies against real hardware behavior before they reach the live grid.

## Achievements

- Surpassed 3 gigawatts of grid assets under management
- Raised approximately $24.4M across seed and SAFE rounds
- Backed by climate and infrastructure investors including Blue Bear Capital, ZOMA Capital, noa, EDP Ventures and Elewit
- Demonstrated up to 2X usable transmission capacity at EPRI Incubatenergy Labs Pitch Day
- Expanded from its origins into a U.S.-headquartered company serving North America and Europe

## Latest updates

- **2025-08** — Raised $12.4M in a SAFE round led by Blue Bear Capital with ZOMA Capital to expand across North America and Europe and scale Dynamic Congestion Management.
- **2025-08** — Announced new capabilities: AI-enabled electrical studies for data centers, enhanced DCM algorithms, a DCM Sandbox modeling tool, and Real-Time Simulation for hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- **2024-07** — Closed $12M seed round to tackle energy curtailment and unlock more clean energy on the grid.
