Our story

Endre started out as discussions on how to increase the impact of research and knowledge developed within academia.
After a a lot of lunches, evenings and more failed ideas than we could count, we finally set out to use our background to
tackle grid planning and grid investments. Using our background from electricity power engineering and energy system studies, and a large portion of naivety, we jumped straight in. With a blank canvas we set out to work in a completely different way from the status-quo of how grid planning and grid investments are done.
The coming decade will see a large change in how we use electricity, both on small and large scale. This change in demand will create new patterns of demand, new hotspots and provide new opportunities for grid operators. At Endre we create high value insights of the future that will reduce risk and uncertainty in grid planning for grid operators.  With lower uncertainty of the future, the risk of reaching capacity limits in the grid is reduced which has significant societal and economic benefits. 

Our vision is that the power grid should not be a limiting factor in the transition towards a renewable energy system.
