About
In 2022, a group of Finnish energy experts and AI researchers recognized a critical challenge facing the renewable energy transition: battery energy storage systems were capable of providing tremendous value to the electrical grid, but without intelligent optimization, they remained underutilized assets. The founders saw that by combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with deep energy market expertise, they could unlock the full potential of these storage systems while accelerating the green transition. Thus, Capalo AI was born in Kuopio, Finland, with a mission to maximize the value of flexible assets and energy storage systems across multiple markets. Today, Capalo AI operates as a sustainable technology company that has quickly emerged as Finland's market-leading trader and optimizer for battery assets. The company's proprietary Capalo Zeus VPP platform leverages AI-driven optimization to make thousands of decisions daily about when to charge, discharge, and which electricity markets to bid into. They manage over 1.5 GW of battery energy storage capacity across six countries, with assets trading in Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Bulgaria. The company is actively expanding into Estonia, Romania, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. By combining the most accurate forecast data with cutting-edge AI models, Capalo AI transforms fixed energy storage assets into the most profitable software-defined products in the energy system.
