LineVision
LineVision is a Boston-based grid intelligence company that helps electric utilities get more capacity, reliability, and safety out of existing transmission lines. Its patented non-contact sensors mount on transmission towers - not the live wires - and pair LiDAR-based measurements of conductor position with AI-driven, hyperlocal wind forecasting and computational fluid dynamics to calculate a line's real-time thermal capacity. Through its Dynamic Line Rating, situational awareness, and asset-health products, LineVision typically unlocks 30%+ additional capacity on monitored lines at a fraction of the cost and time of building new transmission, supporting faster renewable integration and a more resilient grid.
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.
