Overview

Reactive Technologies develops GridMetrix®, a real-time grid stability measurement platform that measures grid inertia and other functions with about 95% accuracy, and offers Tradenergy® to help short-term power traders. Its products enable operators to reduce renewable curtailment, prevent blackouts, and optimize spending on balancing services. In the UK, GridMetrix® is estimated to save roughly 18 million tonnes of CO2 annually (about 5.5% of UK annual CO2 emissions), and the company cites a global mitigation potential of 1,450 million tons annually. Reactive has entered the US market with a large-scale demonstration project in New York State and has additional projects planned in the US, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The company plans to scale commercially and expand its workforce to deliver contracted projects worldwide. Reactive is backed by investors including M&G, BGF, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Eaton, Toshiba, and Accenture Ventures and was a 2022 Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneers winner. Reactive Technologies develops patented measurement solutions, a scalable cloud platform and high-resolution edge devices (branded GridMetrix®) that enable real-time measurement of grid inertia and a digital network twin for simulating operations. Its products target transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution network operators (DNOs) and other energy market participants to improve decision making, reduce risk and enable greater renewable integration. Reactive has a commercial partnership with National Grid ESO following innovation projects that validated GridMetrix’s ability to measure inertia directly. The company was added to Accenture Ventures’ Project Spotlight and has formed a strategic alliance with Accenture to co-innovate and access Accenture’s Innovation Hubs, Labs, Liquid Studios and Global 2000 clients. Through the partnership Reactive aims to operate on a global basis with local presence and accelerate go-to-market and commercial delivery. Terms of Accenture’s investment were not disclosed.
