Building AI tools for a greener grid

Every path to net zero has the electricity grid at its heart.

At Open Climate Fix, we're delivering cutting-edge technology for industry to accelerate the energy transition.

Running a decarbonised energy grid comes with new uncertainties.

The world is connecting more renewable generation to the electricity system, decentralising supply and introducing sensitivity to changes in weather.

At the same time, the electrification of heat and transport is accelerating demand growth and reducing predictability.

This makes running the grid increasingly challenging, slowing the transition to renewables and generating excess carbon emissions.

Our team develops and implements AI solutions, enabling a high-renewables grid that is both cost-efficient and low carbon.

Our work ranges from predicting how much renewable energy will be generated, to forecasting cloud movements, to opening up energy and weather datasets.

We are laser-focused on impact. Our solutions are used by grid operators and energy companies around the world to improve reliability, reduce carbon emissions and lower costs.

Take a moment to learn about our mission in just two minutes:

We are a non-profit climate-tech company committed to accelerating the energy transition through open-source solutions.

Every part of Open Climate Fix is designed to maximise climate impact: our attention to finding scalable and practical solutions, rapid prototyping and our open and collaborative approach.

The team brings together decades of academic and industry experience in AI, energy and software.

Our approach prioritises real-world change.

We’re developing and running unique AI solutions to get grid operators and energy companies to net zero.

Develop

From early research and experimentation, we build relationships with an energy industry partner who uses our innovation in production.
Being close to industry ensures we create effective solutions tailored to real-world applications.

Scale

Once a specific concept is proven, we scale the solution to as many new organisations and geographies as possible.
We run production-ready services for users, and our open source approach means anyone can build upon our work, accelerating impact.

→ systemic, scalable change through better tools for everyone.

We build trust.

With industry and academic partners across three continents and counting, each project brings a unique perspective, helping us drive greater change throughout the sector.

"National Grid ESO has worked closely with Open Climate Fix to develop this AI solar forecasting solution and ensure that it's tailored to our needs.
We're finding that it helps control room engineers reduce balancing costs and emissions."
