Peter Tornberg, COO, said: “After two decades hyperscaling growth in utilities and renewables, the next big challenge—the bottleneck holding back the energy transition—is a grid designed for another era. Surges in curtailment, connection delays, congestion, instability, and blackouts highlight the gap between current grids and transition demands. Those with vision and technological capacity to close this gap will write the next chapter in electricity history. With its unique platform for grid intelligence and flexibility, Plexigrid is uniquely positioned to do just that. I’m honored to join at this inflection point and help make Plexigrid the defining grid-tech company of our time.”
