About GridSmart
GridSmart provides specialist weather analytics for overhead lines, enabling utilities to make better decisions.
Our Mission
GridSmart exists to make weather risk clear, practical, and actionable for electricity networks.
From storms and heatwaves to icing and vibration, weather challenges affect overhead lines, substations, and system operations. While most tools focus on raw forecasts or data streams, GridSmart translates them into engineering and operational insight—what utilities actually need.
No more juggling multiple models and datasets. GridSmart brings everything into one place, helping you understand your risks, improve design and planning, and build resilient networks with confidence.
Our Story
GridSmart was launched by DE Group (formerly Digital Engineering Ltd), building on over 15 years of trusted experience in weather and climate analytics for organisations such as National Grid, Iberdrola, and UK distribution network operators.
As weather specialists working with data every day, we saw how extreme events and changing patterns were challenging grid operators — from storm outages to thermal rating limits. When clients began asking for simple, reliable, and engineering-ready insights, we knew something needed to change. Using DE Group’s expertise, we created GridSmart.
GridSmart turns complex weather data into practical insights, giving utilities the clarity they need to understand risks, plan effectively, and operate safer, more resilient power systems.
Our Vision
We’re building a future where weather risk is no longer an unpredictable hazard, but a manageable part of every network decision.
For engineers, planners, and operators, GridSmart complements your existing processes by revealing the full picture: not just how you design and maintain assets, but how weather and climate conditions shape their performance and reliability. True resilience means addressing both—because you can’t safeguard your network without understanding its weather exposure.
Our vision is simple: to build a future where every utility has the tools and insight to anticipate weather impacts, reduce disruption, and deliver reliable power in a changing climate.
