Elisa Industriq has renamed its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) service to Gridle, reflecting a broader ambition to deliver a scalable, AI‑powered flexibility platform across assets, markets and customer segments. Born from optimising backup batteries at thousands of Elisa telecom sites and since adopted by operators such as Telenor’s DNA Tower, Gridle now spans residential batteries (Elisa Kotiakku), utility‑scale storage, electric boilers and thermal systems like Polar Night Energy’s Sand Battery. For existing customers, only the name changes, the focus on innovation and value continues.

Gridle uses AI to forecast demand, prices and grid signals, then orchestrates when to charge, discharge or produce heat. By linking assets to balancing and wholesale markets, it helps users maximise market revenues and cut energy costs. Its multimarket algorithms allocate capacity to the best opportunities, schedule consumption for low‑price periods, deploy stored energy when prices peak and manage on‑site generation such as solar, within a secure, ISO‑certified, vendor‑neutral framework designed for mission‑critical operations.

Positioned as a long‑term partner, Gridle combines electricity market traders, data scientists and software engineers to convert complex optimisation into measurable returns, consistently outperforming industry benchmarks and accelerating asset payback. As part of Elisa, Finland’s leading telecom and digital services provider with 140+ years of heritage and operations in 50+ countries, Gridle benefits from round‑the‑clock reliability and deep expertise in AI and operational intelligence to deliver secure, scalable and sustainable energy services.
