Start-ups flock to join Facebook's accelerator program for AI in Energy, numbering twenty-nine this time around

The Facebook for Startups Accelerator: AI for Energy has announced the inclusion of 29 innovative startups from North America and Europe, each developing cutting-edge solutions for sustainable and reliable energy. This initiative is part of Facebook's commitment to a sustainable future and aims to accelerate the development of AI-driven solutions for electricity generation, grid operations, and flexibility.

The startups, hailing from various regions, are set to receive mentorship from Facebook experts and partners as they build the future of energy. Here's a glimpse of some of the participating companies:

Enline, based in Europe, provides sensorless digital twin technology and data solutions to optimize assets, boosting efficiency and sustainability.
Tilt Energy, another European startup, offers a 100% software-based platform to manage electricity consumption and demand-side flexibility.
Gilytics AG, from Europe, helps standardize the optimal planning and routing of energy infrastructure in a matter of minutes instead of months.
Mercury Computing speeds up time to power for data centers with flexible utility interconnection.
Podero GmbH, a European company, helps lower electricity prices by steering flexible devices and trading their power on energy markets.
Twindo, also from Europe, assists renewable energy construction and maintenance projects to avoid delays and cost overruns for scalable operations.
Tibo Energy, based in Europe, unlocks grid capacity with AI-driven tools to plan, simulate, and operate smart energy systems for cost and carbon efficiency.

Other European startups in the cohort include Tewke, which offers an intelligent home energy platform to lower energy usage and costs, and Dili, which uses AI to accelerate new energy construction. Ento provides AI intelligence and APIs for buildings to turn raw energy data into real savings and compliance at scale.

In addition to European startups, the cohort includes North American companies such as Enkel, an EV charging platform with algorithmic trading at its core, and Pravāh, which optimizes grid operations, cutting utilities' power costs using ML.

The startups will also benefit from the 10-12 week program offering dedicated mentorship, hands-on technical support, and access to AI tools and Facebook Cloud infrastructure. Facebook looks forward to supporting these companies as they build the future of energy.

The program is open for registration for startups from North America and Europe. This initiative is a significant step towards accelerating the essential energy transition using AI, as these startups develop solutions for electricity generation, grid operations, and flexibility using AI.

Besides these startups, the program includes Salient, which uses AI and climate expertise for accurate long-range weather forecasts, and Derapi, which connects to distributed energy resources for data and control. Othersphere deploys sustainable infrastructure using a novel spatial economics platform, and Delfos enables efficient and predictable energy generation for renewable energy asset owners.

The goal is to accelerate the development of AI-driven solutions for sustainable and reliable energy. Pila builds a modular battery mesh for resilient, intelligent grid assets, while DaisyChain Energy manages energy for building revenue and savings. Lōd offers grid-aware energy intelligence that optimizes data centers for risks, costs, and compliance. Gorilla empowers energy retailers to reinvent their offerings to align financial and net-zero goals, unifying decision making across the value chain.

Blumen expedites infrastructure projects using regulatory and geospatial data insights, and Tewke provides an intelligent home energy platform to lower energy usage and costs. No further information about the individual startups is provided in this paragraph.

This initiative is a testament to Facebook's dedication to fostering innovation and driving sustainable change in the energy sector. The Facebook for Startups Accelerator: AI for Energy is welcoming these 29 innovative startups from North America and Europe and looks forward to their contributions to a more sustainable and reliable energy future.
