Loadwise employee Isabel decided to join Tobias Schreiner and Frederik in building Loadwise

Loadwise turns data centers into active participants in the power system. Not by throttling compute, but by coordinating the energy assets a site has. Storage, backup generation, local production, cooling and thermal mass. Our platform forecasts site demand, grid conditions and market signals, then turns that into decisions those assets execute. The reason this matters right now is the connection queue. Across Europe, grid connections have become the constraint on data center expansion, with waiting times measured in years. A site that can flex on the energy side can operate within the capacity it has been given or accept a flexible connection agreement (FCA) it would otherwise have to refuse. Capacity becomes usable earlier. The consequence goes beyond the single site. A data center that behaves as a coordinated resource instead of a fixed block of demand reduces what the power system has to build in lines, substations and generation. That is the version of this industry we think is worth building toward, and it does not require anyone to slow down their compute.
