What Squid does
Squid is an AI-powered grid planning platform for the energy sector, delivered through the web browser. It helps electricity networks model infrastructure, simulate stress scenarios, and make better use of market and flexibility data that has historically lived in spreadsheets. The company is backed by Y Combinator and operates from London and San Francisco.
Key capabilities
The platform provides network modeling and visualization, stress testing, interactive data analysis, and integration of market flexibility data. By bringing these capabilities together in the browser, Squid aims to help grid planners extract more value from their data and plan infrastructure more efficiently. The company reports compliance with GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001.
Who it's for
Squid is built for energy companies and grid operators, particularly those managing distribution networks. Its publicly named clients include National Grid and Octopus Energy, reflecting a focus on operators planning and balancing modern, flexibility-rich power grids.
