Elisa Industriq’s energy flexibility service Elisa Distributed Energy Storage (DES) has changed its name to Gridle. The new name reflects our amplified ambition and strategic direction toward delivering a scalable, AI-driven energy flexibility service. Gridle is both the brand and the team behind the service, optimizing energy flexibility across multiple asset types, energy markets and customer segments.
“Gridle is more than a new name – it reflects our mission to make energy flexibility mainstream and viable. We optimize a wide range of energy assets to maximize electricity market revenue and energy cost savings through software and services that simplify complexity. As the share of variable renewable production grows, flexibility becomes critical. Gridle gives businesses and households easy access and financial incentives to make green investments, balance the grid and accelerate decarbonization,” says Jukka Pekka Salmenkaita, Head of Gridle and VP of AI at Elisa Industriq.
Initially, Gridle was developed to optimize backup batteries across thousands of Elisa telecom sites. After the service proved its value internally, Elisa commercialized it, and it has now been adopted by other telecom operators, such as Telenor’s DNA Tower. Today, Gridle is a flexibility service for electricity markets that optimizes energy assets across multiple industries: from distributed batteries such as Elisa’s residential battery offering (Elisa Kotiakku), to large-scale batteries, electric boilers, and thermal storage systems like Polar Night Energy’s Sand Battery. For customers, only the name is changing – the commitment to innovation and value remains the same.
