grid services

Grid balancing services and frequency control for national grid operators. Technology and analytics that support local operators with flexibility, forecasting, peak management, and reliable power.

why it matters

As electrification accelerates, pressure on the power grid is increasing faster than new infrastructure can be built. Peaks in demand, local congestion and growing variability in generation are pushing grids closer to their limits —even when overall capacity exists.

Ingrid's grid services make it possible to effectively stabilise the grid and use the existing infrastructure more efficiently. By unlocking flexibility, managing peaks and balancing the systemin real time, grid operators can maintain stability, reduce costs and defer or avoid costly grid reinforcements.

who we work with

We work with grid companies such as transmission system operators (TSOs) and local distribution system operators (DSOs). Our partners seek to maintain system stability, manage peaks and congestion, and increase the utilisation of existing grid infrastructure through flexibility, data and fast-responding resources.

How Ingrid enables grid flexibility and stability

Frequency control and system balancing for national operators

Ingrid provides grid balancing services that support frequency stability and system balance, helping maintain a reliable power system in real time. Services include participation in frequency and balancing markets such as FCR-D, FCR-N and FRR, enabling fast and precise responses to system needs.

Peak shaving and congestion management

Through energy storage and intelligent control, Ingrid delivers peak shaving services that reduce load during critical periods — relieving local bottlenecks, reducing costs and improving utilisation of existing grid capacity.

Local flexibility markets

Ingrid enables assets to participate in local and regional flexibility markets, providing grid operators with access to flexible capacity exactly where and when it is needed to manage local constraints dynamically.

Real-time flexibility

AI-driven control systems enable rapid, precise responses to grid signals, supporting both national frequency control and local grid needs as system conditions change.

Forecasting and data-driven grid support

Advanced analytics and forecasting provide improved visibility into load, generation and flexibility, supporting better planning, operational decisions and activation of flexibility resources.

Outcomes we deliver

Project in focus

strengthening the local grid in Varberg

Ingrid operates the Nordics’ first peak shaving product, powered by a 20 MW / 20 MWh battery and Ingrid’s AI optimisation platform. By predicting and shaving local demand peaks in real time, the solution can reduce additional peak capacity needs by up to 90% and enable more efficient use of the existing grid.

  • 20 MW / 20 MWh battery storage in Varberg
  • Up to 90% reduction in additional peak capacity needs
  • Potential annual savings of several million SEK

" with this initiative, we want to enable new actors to connect to our local grid and also contribute to stable electricity costs for customers in the region."

Frequently asked questions

What does Ingrid do?

Ingrid Capacity builds the infrastructure and intelligence behind the electrified society. The company connects energy storage, software, and power markets to create flexibility that stabilises the grid, integrates renewable energy, and accelerates the transition toward a resilient, decarbonised and cost-efficient energy system.

How does Ingrid’s technology work?

Ingrid operates a proprietary trading and optimisation platform that manages renewable and storage assets in real time. The system makes thousands of data-driven decisions every hour — forecasting, trading, and balancing supply and demand. This helps the grid run more efficiently, reduces congestion, and lowers overall system costs.

Who does Ingrid work with?

Ingrid collaborates with grid operators, local communities, investors, technology partners, energy producers, and utilities to strengthen the power system at every level — local, regional, and national. By aligning capital, technology, and market innovation, Ingrid develops scalable solutions that ease local congestion, support regional balance, and enhance national energy security.

Why is a flexible grid important for electrification?

As renewable generation expands, flexibility becomes the foundation of a stable, efficient, and affordable energy system. It allows electricity to flow where and when it’s needed — maximising the use of existing infrastructure, integrating more renewables, and accelerating the energy transition without costly grid expansion and upgrades.

Why does the grid need to become intelligent?

Electricity generation and consumption are changing faster than the grid was designed to handle. As renewables and electrification grow, the system is becoming increasingly decentralised — with power flowing from many directions instead of just one. To stay balanced, the grid needs more intelligence, flexibility, and storage. A more intelligent grid uses data, automation, and distributed resources to manage variability, store excess energy, and deliver power where and when it’s needed most.
